Comment (by jb510):

 I personally like the 2 column side by side display with solid color boxes
 (Version 2).  I dislike the strike through.  I dislike the 3 side by side
 columns.

 I really dislike the current UI for selecting revisions to compare, it's
 terribly confusing.  I wanted to add a mockup but haven't found time to
 make it, but I'd far prefer a dropdown selector above each of the columns
 (left and right) that allowed comparing any revision.

 Changing things so comparisions can only be made between the current
 revision and old revisions seems reasonable but you lose the ability to
 see who made what change.  Currently you can compare revision 10 by User A
 and revision 9 by User B and see who made what change.  I think if things
 are changed to only compare to the current revision that attributing each
 change to a particular user needs to be considered.  Perhaps a not on each
 red/green box attributing who it was that made that change?  I wouldn't
 call it extremely critical to me, but it does seem like we're losing
 functionality that should at least be discussed before abandoning.
