No. Once upon a time it was new. And the only game in town.
There have /always/ been issues with various parts of the
SF infrastructure; since day one. It is built of kludge upon
kludge.
It has never been 'great' except in the sense that it has had
much to do with the momentum of the Open Source movement. I
will give them credit where due; I will not however consider
them reliable. And not being able to update a project code
repository on a service that exists almost solely for that
express purpose is just not cool.
I am extremely happy to see Vanilla and eventually the other
projects moved to darcs. And I appreciate the time that the
various developers have put into this effort. You time will
have paid off quite quickly, I expect, in the near future.
