Most of the other merge tools lacked either one or both of these features. There should be a trivial means by which you can take both conflicting changes in whichever order you like. Not that it matters to me, Araxis Merge now uses an Office 2005 ribbon style UI so that 1/4 of the screen is taken up by a shifting sea of widgets, and there's no way to revert to an alternate UI, and I'm a ludite so I just can't be dealing with that. Unless I missed it Araxis Merge does not have this feature. If you have two versions of a source file where separate developers have trampled on a complicated algorithm, there is imo no substitute for having a separate editable output view so that you can retain a view of each original file while resolving the conflict. I've recently tried most of the diff tools mentioned here and it appears to me that most of them (even the expensive ones) lack one or both of two key features.

Also I welcome people to contribute to its development. I'm currently not very active developing it (because of coursework and research), but I would continue if there are lots of interest in it. I have a blog post about its design here: You can get a feel of it by playing with interactive demos: It can also detect and trace refactorization. The parsers are built using a parser combinator library which eases the job by quite a bit. It actually parses the programs and compare their parse trees, with semantics-awareness. It experimentally supports C++, JavaScript, Python, Scheme, Emacs Lisp (and other S-expression based languages). You might be interested in the open-source structural comparison tool I have been developing. The Revisionist, de facto, more than beyond comparison, it's beyond reproach.

It's the closet thing that you can get (yes free code available) that even BEGINS to be in the same ballpark as the visualization guru, Ben Fry, had developed , now you're talking diff, over an infinite set of changes.

Supports input/output filters, for instance XMLTidy/HTMLTidy.

Can be configured to handle the silent merges for clearcase (probabaly other tools too).

When you diff with a directory that's configured under source control, it will prompt you to automatically check out the files you're trying to overwrite!.

for instance: compare changes in the last 60 days in "My Documents" to an folder on an external hard drive

compare images, Source Code, binary files, mp3 metadata.

3-way Merge, inline editing, syntax highlighting.

Excellent discounts if you purchase in bulk.

finally a product that is "30 days of use" instead of "30 days since I installed and forgot about it".

I use the Explorer context menu integration all the time on Windows (32-bit and 64-bit).

We evaluated both BeyondCompare and Araxis for integration into clearcase, and after extensive testing with complicated deliveries BeyondCompare came out on top because of its solid handling of complex automatic merges.

is the best diff/merge tool that I have ever used.

Plus it's free! Here's the list of features from the site: There are handy filters built in as well to block out source control files and stuff like that. recommendation, it handles file/folder diffing and merging greatly.

Deltopia DeltaWalker (win, osx, linux).

I'm recollecting here a list of the tools mentioned in the answers below, in order of preferences (more or less), separating pay- from free- ware and indicating supported operating system. but what is your experience in this field? Do you think there is something better? And what are the features you like best on your favorite Diff tool? EDIT Now BC is at version 3, and I think it's a great tool.

when I decided to buy a license for it I tried other similar tools, both payware and freeware.
