Comment (by michaelarestad):

 Heyo!

 This is definitely still an issue and one I'm torn about. We could
 implement some sort of code folding like you see in GitHub diffs that
 don't show unchanged parts of the document.

 That said, I think we need to revisions UI more holistically. In
 particular, how could a revisions UI fit within the realm of the new
 editor? How would they work with full site editing? Could we should
 revisions in a more visual way that doesn't need two columns? Within
 Gutenberg, we have the ability to show smaller previews of blocks and
 layouts. We utilizing that feature, we could show changes visually in a
 mosaic view a user could drill into? There are countless possibilities and
 I hope to see them explored.

 In the meantime, I don't see any reason a proactive developer couldn't
 implement code folding. I don't know how much time we should spend on it
 given the fact that we'll need to update the revisions UI.
