Best Diff Tool?

I am mainly a C# ASP.NET Developer and I use KDiff3 as my diff tool. I have been using it, happily, for several years and was wondering what others were using.

Winmerge

  • Open source
  • Integrates with TortoiseSVN
  • Shell integration
John Sheehan
+1 for integration with TortoiseSVN

all of those apply to kdiff as well, it is also faster, does 3 way merging, and directory diffs

Exam Diff

I use Beyond Compare from http://www.scootersoftware.com.

It is by far and away the very best difference utility.

I HIGHLY recommend it. And for about $30 it is well worth the money.

Enjoy,
Randy

If anyone who has used Araxis Merge Professional (£149) has found a better diff program I would love to hear of it.

I've always found Araxis Merge easy to use. I originally thought the extensibility would be cool but have never found a need to use it. The three way merge of directories has been really useful on a couple of occasions.

Hi

ExamDiff (http://www.prestosoft.com/edp_examdiff.asp) is useful to compare files.

FileSync (http://www.fileware.com/download.htm) is handy in case you want to compare folders.

I prefer Kdiff over Winmerge for free tools. But there really isn't anything better then Beyond Compare.
