It's all POV I guess.

Hmmm. Why not what? I don't understand.
If you are asking why is a "side-by-side" diff more illustrative it's
because it's a much more visual representation of the differences
between files, with a lot more context than
3-lines-context-old-new-3-lines-context. It shows in a side-by-side
comparison what the differences are. You never have to figure out
whether "+" means lines added to the .rpmnew file or the main file,
etc. Additionally, the "patch" format is really only useful to those
conversant on diff/patch. For the average user, side-by-side would be
10 times more meaningful.

Uhm. How about system("gvim -d <file>.rpmnew <file>"). Even if it
was simply a button on the bottom of the existing widget. Want me to
send a patch? It's only a few lines.

OK. As long as it's a known bug.
