Well okay, you caught me being flippant. :)

Sure, you visually compare with diffs, but you apply those changes  
with merges.  This means the end of posting patches because instead  
what you would do is post the url to a branch that you published some  
place.  It means that branch can be kept up-to-date as its parent  
branch changes, so a new feature candidate need never get stale.  It  
also means your new feature candidate is a first class revision  
control branch, just as usable as the trunk, say.  So it's much more  
powerful than trading patch files around.
