Nearly every VCS after CVS is better than CVS. Renaming files,
directories, etc.

And darcs is easy to set up. You don't need a special kind of
server software. So every webspace can become host for your
repository.


darcs is ideal for OSS. You can get/pull a repository to your
local machine and then you have a local repository. You can
commit changes local, revert them again, work with it like with
any other VCS. And at the end you generate a patch for the
maintainer.
