File Comparison Tools

Just curious what others use.  I have been using diff for a long time but was wondering if I am missing anything.

Re: File Comparison Tools

Sometimes useful variations: colordiff, dwdiff. (Edit: typo).

If I have to work a lot with differences I use meld. Otherwise, diff is enough for me.

you also have pacdiff in pacman-contrib which is just an automated vimdiff

kompare, from kde. It is a gui interface to diff and it allows you to easily apply variations from file A to file B
