Actually, both can do both, right? darcs send -o will write the data to send out to a file on disk, and git-send-email will transmit the message. I don't so much care about the default as making it easy for people that do have a local sendmail or smtpd or (ugh) MAPI client to send patches automatically, if I tell them what flags to use.
