It means I have to manually wade through at least two conflicting
revisions.

The issue here isn't really "hg/git/ubercool-dvcs is better" but
more like "darcs sucks".

For example it drives me nuts that it doesn't give patches a
unique ID apart from the commit message.

But it's not that big an issue, of course.

If you'd all rather stay with Darcs that's fine by me.
There are way worse VCS after all. :)
