I do not mean you should never grep.  There are cases when there
is no alternative.  One case I did not mention is that you would
want to accept patches via e-mail and apply.  In such a case,
GIT_EXTERNAL_DIFF with git-apply-patch-script way would not work
because that approach is essentially to patch while you are
generating diff locally.
