If you have TextWrangler, "twdiff fileA fileB" is the analogous

files while diffing them.
Yes, I wish Apple would've built the FileMerge UI into Xcode instead
of having to spawn another app. Before I check any code in, I diff
all checked out files to make sure all the changes were meant to be
checked in. If I see that I've added a new method to a class, but I'm
not sure if I ended up using it, I want to search the entire project
to see if it's used. In order to do this now, I have to select the
method name, Copy, switch back to Xcode, Find in Files, Paste, hit
Return. Much more cumbersome than select, command-e, command-option-
f, Return.
And yeah, saving changes. I don't understand why FileMerge can't just
save back to the original file. It always asks where I want to save
it, so I have to navigate to the right folder, make sure the name is
right, save, hit Replace, then go back to Xcode and click the button
when it asks if I want to reload the file.
This is a gigantic step backwards when compared to being able to do a
Recursive Diff in CodeWarrior with the Perforce plugin, and it would
open all diff'd files in their own window. Changes made there are
saved right back to the actual files.
Apple: Come ON! :)
