  1. I am in rant mood. The #diff tool in #Emacs, called #ediff.

    People rant about Emacs', lets say, non-standard user interface. I use it for 40 years and like it. But ediff is just a pita.

    In case anyone knows how to get a similar thing to

    git difftool --tool=meld --dir-diff

    meaning:
    - navigate to changes of a git workspace from a dir-tree view
    - side-by-side diffs, no weird three-way wtf when I just want to see current changes
    - no weird frames/windows mess

    Suggestions welcome.
