I think that's kind of out of date; AFAIK the majority of hackers
think -u format is more readable. (For myself, I've gotten better
at reading -u format, but I still find it illegible for complex
changes. Still, I try to always post patches in -u format to
defer to the majority.)
It is true that some of the tools we use don't work right with
anything except "git diff" output or close equivalents.
