Pros
None, really
Cons
Slow, buggy, probably Malware
Summary
From the moment you try and install this program, there's something fishy about it. First off, it tries to get you to shut down other programs like Firefox and Microsoft Word. This is probably so that it can try and install Malware, since there's no other reason to ask you to shut down programs.
Such lame recommendations below

Summary
This review was originally posted on VersionTracker.com.<br />First off my only intention was to compare 2 text file's contents and have some way of highlighting the differences, Differences Examiner did it, slow as hell but it did it right. But those stupid and useless recommendations below were just lame! Let's see there was TextWrangler & DiffMerge , my dead grandmother could have out run these lame ducks. FileMerge , don't make me laugh, what a useless POS that was. opendiff - Maybe on Tiger but not on Leo, and I can't stand Xcode tools, bloated and cumbersome. I guess with all the other choices mentioned, Differences Examiner slaughtered them by a long shot, slow and painful but far more useful than the useless suggestions.
Works okay, wish it did more!

Pros
It does as advertised but only in plain text. Was very easy to use.
Cons
It would be great if it could work with other file types other than plain text documents. I was hoping to compare two pdf documents. I cut and pasted to plain text for each, saved and then compared and it worked though. If it did pdf's, word or Excel docs I'd register and use!
Summary
Did what I needed (no other app could)

Summary
This review was originally posted on VersionTracker.com.<br />Someone else said that FileMerge.app could handle all of the funtionality of this app. Not true. I had two files, File A and File B. File B contained SOME of the lines that File A contained and I need them to be flagged. Differences Examiner color-coded the differences, and in effect hilighted the identical lines by leaving them white. I agree that a necessary feature to add would be a progress bar of some sort. The files I compared were 120,000 lines, so it took a while to process and a status bar would have helped me gauge when to expect it to be completed.
