What I've gotten from this is that you're shipping side-by-side diffs that are 'better', but it's unclear what it's better /than/. Inline diffs? Some other tool's side-by-side diffing? I want to know more about "better navigation" and context. I would love, love, love to talk with you about this. justin@abrah.ms Seriously. |

For the other readers.
First up. I find inline diff's really hard to comprehend once they get past a few lines changed here and there. This might be just me, but anecdotally I've found other devs to also feel this.
The better context and navigation is all about seeing the change in the context of the code-base. Small code changes can have large effects. Indifference will allow you to navigate the whole code base rather than just the single change set +/- a few lines. In this way you can get a better handle on what has changed and how it will effect the rest of the codebase.
