If you have TextWrangler, "twdiff fileA fileB" is the analogous
command.  I much prefer TextWrangler's diff because I can edit the
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.

This doesn't address all of your concerns, but command-E works across processes so you don't have to do the copy/paste bit in your steps above. Just select the method name, command-E, command-tab to get back to Xcode, then do whatever you'd do in Xcode.
