I use darcs a lot.

It isn't ready for the kernel, but for smaller projects (in terms of number of files, number of patches per day, number of contributors, etc.) it is excellent.

The great thing about darcs is that it takes only a few minutes to try it. Arch/tla is hard to get started with -- I've never managed to get started with arch/tla despite trying a couple of times. But darcs is very easy. In the time it takes you to finish reading this mongo thread on LWN, you could get started with darcs and form your own opinions of it.
