Don't feel dumb. You are just an outlier on the visual preferences.
I actually do TWO solutions for each test case: a minimal diff and a maximal diff. Pressing 'm' in the TUI pops up a settings page where you can choose how the diff works.
I am actively researching how many ways there are to "paint" the same diff and user preferences and non-uniqueness of diffs is something I am super interested in.
If you would like to, it would be super useful for me to know what diff you don't like and why. It would help make the diff better for users with different visual preferences.
