Some humans (not me, but I know some) prefer context diffs,
diff -c file1 file2.  And older diff programs (UNICOS 10 /bin/diff, for
example) don't always know how to do unified diffs, but everyone knows
context diffs.

There's also the side-by-side diff which is snazzy for visually
comparing files.  Check the man page or info documents for more
information.
