In Guitar – Git GUI Client> Based on one of the screenshots, it looks like Guitar doesn't support word diffing.
Could you report this feature request to dev?[0]

Looks pretty much the same as stitching DOM elements to me, and various runtime modifications in HTML-based frameworks remind me of the "put widget into container" code style of Tk. There's even a CSS-based styling support for Qt.
The main difference is that there is easy way to make a visual designer for the QT .ui files, so it's actually even easier to write GUI apps there.
And DOM based frameworks do nothing to ease of use, ease of navigation, or pretty much anything done by end user*. They make it easier on making portable GUI, yes, but that's on developer side, and with significant costs associated to everything, including reputation of the application and developer.
In Guitar – Git GUI Client> Is there a way to connect Guitar to a remote server.
Please, ask dev on issues tracker.[0]
