+1. For me, annotate's format makes it unusable for me. Instead I tend to dodarcs changes -v file.c | less and then search for keywords. I am also wary of annotate because I heard it has (had?) huge speed issues.
In my experience annotate is too slow to be used on a web server as HTTP requests come in, but for HTTP you want responses on the order of milliseconds, and you are already losing a fair amount of time in shunting out a new process.
In terms of use from the command line, while it's not exactly speedy by any account (it takes some time), I've never seen a speed issue that made me feel like I needed to outright avoid it. I guess there might be issues with repos with lots of conflicts, but that's in the same bucket with all the other issues at that point...
Also, +1 at making the CLI annotate output cleaner. (Preferably, leaving the XML output alone.)
