It's not just git. I have yet to see a platform which does PR code reviews in a way I like.

If it's small PR or PR's from trusted sources it's not an problem but once it's bigger and from a third party reviewing it can easily become much more annoying then it should.

Besides UX aspects on major offender IMHO is the text based diff algorithm. I had to often changes where you could have created a easily readable diff but non content aware git diffs just produced total garbage.



I spent four years working at a company that uses stash/"bitbucket server". Coming back to GitHub I was shocked at how much worse their PR workflow is.
