I think the left to right or right to left is probably a very opinionated thing 
(and I think Araxis, another tool I’ve used does it the other way around).

However the colour coding is something that should properly communicate what is 
going on - and I’m curious if anyone else has noticed it seems to be wrong (it 
sounds like for you its definitely confusing).

I think there are known bugs in iceberg (not sure how much on the diff view - I 
also noticed that class comments don’t seem to appear in the diff and I also 
see spurious method categorisation differences as well).
