I use M-n sometimes when I remember it, but mostly I use C-s like
everywhere.

When I pipe the results of `git diff`, `git log`, etc into Emacs,
I don't make them read only.  And I use this more way more frequently
than vc-diff.

Frankly I don't care if you think it's "better" to use your
specialized keybindings.  It's your right to think so. But I
do care about being able to use the keybindings I've always used
for such basic file and buffer-editing functionality.
