> Git is designed for code and is terrible/overcomplex for words

I think this is not git problem, rather diff tool it's using? Wonder if using another one, e.g. difftastic[1] would be a better experience.

I wonder how difftastic would handle a paragraph that got reflowed via a gqip command. Would it show almost every word as changed or only the changed words and ignore the fact that many others now reside on different lines?
