Honestly, the option A (text) looks fine to me, and is presumably
trivial to implement compared to B.  I do think that your color coding
of the output helps a lot.

Unless you can think of a desired significant feature or output
flourish which can only be done with approach B, my vote is for the
simpler Option A.  I see the new ndiff text output as a big
improvement over the previous version.

Cheers,
