In decreasing importance order:
I am 84 years old. I have been using /usr/bin/diff for more than four decades.
And having to learn how to read the output of 'git diff' makes learning how
to use git a more difficult trick for this old dog to learn. True, the diff of
today is very different from the diff of 1972, but the changes happened
gradually.
I have scripts which process the output of /usr/bin/diff.
'git diff' outputs escape characters which clutter my terminal. Yes, I can sed
them out, but then why are they there?
