I honestly don't feel like Github did a good job there either, I mean at least on the web UI because the VSCode Github extension helps a lot (when it's not buggy).


Gerrit is the only thing I've seen do change exploration well.

Github is annoying as crap. Can't even comment on a line in the file that needs changing but was missed in the PR, can only comment on a tual changes.

Phab is god awful, it's like someone built that whole system with a purist mindset, everything is perfectly designed with perfect referential IDs. But every screen is a view into the db table, no screens join information and make it usable. This is worse when you have n:m relationships because they expose those tables via screens too, it's just plain awful.

I actually like Phabricator, but the DB schema is insane. Like, literally insane. I spent hours trying to figure it out once before giving up in disgust.
