NetBeans vs Eclipse IDE vs VS Code

NetBeans can rollback code in inline diff dialog, VS code is much better because you can edit inside the quick diff editor.

QuickDiff is not EGit. Moving the proposition to Platform/UI.

I have never had the need to be able to edit the old text in the popup; in all cases where I used that revert feature I was happy to revert and then edit in the editor. But I also have used this revert feature only maybe a dozen times in many many years of using Eclipse.

The idea of adding some way to the popup to directly be able to revert is good, though. Maybe a link might do it.
