Favorite Diff Viewer
What's your favorite diff viewer/editor and why?
I prefer to use meld. It looks good and supports syntax highlighting, but setting it up on Windows (for work) was a bit of a pain.
Tide goes in, stain comes out. Never a miscommunication.

Re: Favorite Diff Viewer
kdiff3 is said to be the best free software diff viewer and merge tool around. To my knowledge, it is more powerful than meld, for instance it can split or join hunks at arbitrary lines which meld cannot. A binary installer for Windows is provided by upstream, making Windows setup trivial. Moreover TortoiseHG and msysgit already include kdiff3, so if you use these in a default installation, you already have kdiff3 on your system.

Re: Favorite Diff Viewer
Vimdiff is my default diff viewer, simply because it works and is a part of my default editor. If one prefers a standalone solution, diffuse is also a very nice tool.
