You'd have to be more specific about how FileMerge sucks.
I just used FileMerge 2.2.1 to compare two HTML files. It sucks
because:
- It says there's only one difference even though there are dozens of
differences. The one line it says is different is not.
I do know that FileMerge gets horrifically confused if both files
have different line endings - I've had a bug open in Radar on this
for years now. I've found that keeping all my files with Unix line
endings resolved this. I believe this is because FileMerge is really
a fancy shell on top of Unix diff, and diff (unbelievably after all
these years) has no concept of different line endings.
