Me too and the diff makes often really difficult for me to read the changes.
Any takers? :)
I hope that soon we will have a nice pretty printer so it may help us there.
I don't know how compare non-cosmetic changes only, nor the best way to show differences *within* a line instead of only entire-line differences. Both of these would be very nice.
However, I worked on RB's pretty print to suit my own formatting tastes (I was raised with Beck's "Rectangular Block") a couple of weeks ago. I now, *finally*, have hot-key auto-formatting of my code that I can tolerate.
I realize what a great productivity booster auto-formatting is. YOu can just place the cursor within a method, type like crazy whatever you need, then hit command+shift+s followed by command+s.
Made me wonder how much cumululative time I've spent over the years manually formatting code.. :-\
PS - I'm disappointed to hear we're converting a bunch of legacy code to use := instead of left-arrow.. Why mark the original authors of the code with your own personal preference?
