Still, it needs just a little bit extra to be absolutely the best. All it needs is to be able to know the location of the original file so I can easily save a merged file without having to re-navigate. That is a real pain. Also, it would really be great to be able to see and edit the merged file before saving.
Now I do :) Thanks! I could have sworn I had tried that before and couldn't edit it. Oh well. Sometimes it is best to revisit things from time to time. Even if the system you are using hasn't changed, you may have learned a thing or two along the way.
In addition, I just wrote the following script and put it in my ~/bin folder: #!/bin/sh
# Run opendiff with the proper merge settings. opendiff $1 $2 -merge $2
And told Xcode to use this as my diff tool. Now I have zero complaints with FileMerge.
