Very good…but still 2nd best for source code diffs

This app is really quite nice. Totally neat that its flexible enough to diff a wide variety of things; thats a cool surprise. The following focuses on code diffs, as thats what Ive used:

The applications UI is very good:
- The UI itself is clean minimalist; something someone that appreciate Mac style would appreciate, IMHO.
- It presents two options for viewing diffs, called something like "block" and "fluid" (Im not sure if thats exactly); with the primary difference being whether
(a) whitespace is inserted into one side or the other in order to keep common code blocks inline, or
(b) if the gaps are close and the lines joining the common sections is the only indicator theyre common.
- You also have the option to choose whether to use colors to differentiate code blocks as well.

All in all the diff presentations work pretty well. Oddly enough, they still come in a distant second to the most awesome diff tools Ive come across yet: Ecplipses built in diff tools. Their presentation is somehow less cluttered and therefore easier to read. That said, this diff application is wrapped in eclipse. It also features excellent integrations with Git, SVN, and various applications to it can automatically be invoked, including from the command. So its a solid four, if not four and half star app. Note that this does have Eclipse diffs nifty ability to compare directories and the source files within them, which sets them apart from pretty much every other tool Ive used.
