This is a sort of kind of almost me-too. Darcs is working nicely for
me on Windows, but I've had my share of problems with it on
ppc/darwin.

Hear, hear. 

While I'm not dead set against moving to Darcs, can someone please
tell me how it will make Slime hacking better?

A real workflow example or two would be good.

Since Slime would still (I assume) work on a central repository model,
I don't see a huge benefit -- but maybe that just shows my relative
inexperience with Darcs.
