> It will collapse files with over 100-200 lines of changes for seemingly no reason (hiding the comments within them)

OH MY GOD this so much. This one specific anti-feature has no doubt caused countless bugs to be missed during code review. I can quote the issue thread by memory at this point i've revisited it so many times the last year(s?)

For goodness sake, if the trade off is between 'seeing all of the changes during the review' vs 'having the page load quickly', the only people who choose 'quickly' are those who haven't been burned by human error missing a collapsed diff. Gitlab made the wrong trade off here in good/fast/cheap triangle.
