TF CLC pending changes look abhorrent

I keep wondering who does this look readable to ? Isn't there too much information duplication here ? What's wrong with the existing .diff format ? Why invent a new standard ? Merely creating a new  standard won't do !! you have to make it work for the users !!

Microsoft seems to be in perpetual denial about it's rock stardom, like a high school teenager, it seems to think people will call it cool just because it is going against the norm. No ! going against the norm is not the only criterion . Making it better than the norm is what makes it cool. Wheather it goes against the norm or it extends and furthers the norm is immaterial to the user.

What's wrong with something simpler, shouldn't brief be simple ? - for removed files, + for added files, * for edited files.
