I have no problem with it, if I have to look at a diff I usually need the 
last diff (95% I guess). And if that do not help (don't shows what i'm 
looking for) I go 'down'. Comparing three version before with current 
version, may be interessting, but I can't remember used it. But there are 
others working diffrent than me, I'm sure about that. If there is the 
possibiity, it will be used.

First impression I got about comparing Wikipedia to the new UseModWiki, was 
that the radio buttons would look well in the 'cologe blue' 
skin(wikipedia), the current Wikipedia (cur) model fits better in the 
standart skin. Thats only a 'style' think, nothing to do with funcionality, 
becouse the radio buttons look a bit more 'modern'.

No realy advantages, IMHO. What I realy think about as a problem, are these 
long 'lines'. I only get diffs for a complete paragraph and have to look 
for an change like 'forx' -> 'for' in an paragraph with 20 lines, thats 
usually stupid work.
