You forget that the target is a new user who has never heard of those 
concepts and while they may seem simple and familiar to you, he will find 
himself reading about the inner works even before he did read a short 
description about why darcs can be a better choice for him.

A flower doesn't make spring. That user is not representative for how 
people will view that page. Feel free to only listen to those that praise 
your work if that makes you feel better, but in the end it's those that 
make observations on what they think that can be made better that will 
help you improve it (if you care to listen to them anyway).

In that case please excuse me for completely misreading the reason why you 
posted this to the mailing list and wasting your (and my) time with an 
undesired feedback.
