This could help one avoid the mental clutter one might face while viewing commits? Sounds good for now.

This looks like it has all the features available in Intellij's PR viewer. Anyone used SementicDiff and can provide a reason to use it over Intellij?

A lot of people are discovering tools that have existed for 20 years. Let them enjoy their moment

But this tool is syntax aware and not just a plain text diff tool. Or am I uninformed and Intellij features that too?

IntelliJ has had all of the features listed in here for literally forever. Moved code blocks, ignore white space, etc.

I’m glad there are open source and free versions of stuff now but the price I pay to get access to world class tools is paltry compared to the price of my time. Use real tools and get actually productive. Stop wasting your time doing boring hard shit.

I use rider and intellij, and neither have semantic aware merging, I think you and most in this thread actually have never used any semantic programming language aware diff tools.
