I don't love unified diffs as a rule either. They're very noisy to read in general. A side by side in something like "meld" will highlight changes but also means you're reading the full context as it will exist in the code base. My number one complaint about "code review" is the number of people who simply run their eyes over the diff (in private orgs) because management says "code review" and that's as far as they ever take that in terms of defining outcomes.
