which diff tool do you use?

Heh, I remember that contest. Spent a weekend reviewing all of the contest entries. The best implementation didn't win and didn't even enter the contest. This guy posted his code[^] into the discussion forum. It outperformed all of the others by a wide margin and I couldn't find any errors. Unfortunately he never officially entered the contest. It's his only post on the site. :laugh:

Yeah, I still use my entry occasionally -- such as last week.

I use WinMerge. It's open-source, still maintained, and available in both 32- and 64-bit versions (for those who have really large files... :) )

Maybe one of these best-folder-file-compare-diff-tools-for-either-osx-linux-or-windows[^]
I used KDidff old version.

I've used Windiff and was fairly happy with it. You can find free downloads online. Now that GitHub is integrated with Visual Studio, I just use that to look at diffs. If I had to diff something that wasn't in my repository, I'd probably add the first version of it to the repository, stage it, then add the second version, look at the diff, and later remove them from the repository. Or use Windiff.

The fox knows many things, but the hedgehog knows one big thing.WinDiff is my simple favorite. It's quick & easy to use for comparing two files but if you have two directories to compare it is even better. Its a little odd if you've never used it, but once you use it a couple of times it is the leader for simplicity. I couldn't believe when they removed it & didn't make it available any more. In my mind they removed it, but didn't provide any replacement. Just kind of nutty. I went back to an older machine & saved off the windiff64.exe & windiff.exe so I'd always have them on my dev machines.

Meld. Used it for years on Linux. Haven’t done a diff in windows for 20 years or so. There might be something better on that side of the fence.
If you can't laugh at yourself - ask me and I will do it for you.
Meld is my weapon of choice too.

Free Tool I use WinMerge and it is pretty good and enough for most use cases Paid Tool I use BeyondCompare 4 and it is the best I have seen so far
M.D.V. ;) If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about? Help me to understand what I'm saying, and I'll explain it better to you Rating helpful answers is nice, but saying thanks can be even nicer.

For once I agree with you. ;P But you forgot to say that it is a paid product :)

Like Nelek mentioned, it is a paid product, but a trial version is available. Unique at least for me: Syntax (language) recognition. Sorry for my English, I don't know how to explain it :( @Nelek most probably you can explain it ;) I only can say it is worth the money, at least for me. [Edit] It is not only a diff tool, it is especially a kind of a merge tool

SourceGear | DiffMerge[^] has been my weapon of choice for the last 12 or 14 years.
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, weighing all things in the balance of reason? Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful? --Zachris Topelius
