If you like dcron you will like fcron considerably more. I don't like
dcron, because it at least feals somewhat immature and incomplete while
fcron is absolutely complete and works perfectly as far as I can tell.
All the features and the pros and cons, if there are any, have been
mentioned many times here on the list. So I won't repeat them.

+1 from me, too, for making fcron the default cron daemon as soon as
possible.
