Curious to hear thoughts on editor support, do you guys feel specific integrations (Emacs/Vim) are necessary for tool like this, or the TUI work flow is enough?

Now it mainly supports `nvim`.

Sorry to be a wet blanket, but Magit for Emacs already has a convenient UI for reviewing diffs (as well as viewing status, logs, rebasing, etc.), so I don't know if I personally would use this tool from Emacs.

But it wouldn't hurt to have an option to make "e" to open files in Emacs or the user's choice of editor.

Thanks for sharing that information!

I think that regular black-and-white /bin/diff is solid for that kind of job. I use it all the time. I have seen people being mad about reading its output but I think that this attitude is unfounded.
