For me, GitHub PR review drives me crazy. It's good for exactly one round of exchange. After that nobody can tell what the heck is going on. So my self-reported mental health would be worse.

But on non-subjective metrics it seems like LLVM PRs on GitHub are gathering noticeably less discussion than they used to enjoy as Phabricator diffs.



And just visually, GitHub wastes so much vertical space, so even trying to place what belong to which patchset becomes hard.

Matches my experience totally. It devolves into a heap of garbage. In comparison, with (incremental) mailing list-based review, it's not difficult to go up to v7 or so.

That could be a consequence of GitHub making it harder to comment sensibly.
