Great tool that paid for itself the first week

Pros
Does everything as advertised
Cons
None that I can recall
Summary
We have been using Guiffy SurgeMerge corporate wide and cross platform wide also for several years. Whenever you introduce new software to many users (especially tech people) there is usually push back but he acceptance of Guiffy as a standard has been very good. Everyone appreciates having a merge tool they can trust.
How many ways can you say slow.

Pros
None that I can see.
Cons
Like so many Java based application it is slow and primitive. It takes forever (by that, I mean I ran out of patience) to open a folder with any significant number of entries. Even with a folder containing just a few entries it took tens of seconds to open. The interface is text based which wouldn't necessarily be a bad thing if it had other qualities to recommend it. I'm guessing that GUI to the Java community means something different than it does in my world.

Does the job!

Pros
Easy to use
Cons
I found no "cons" to this software
Summary
I had two different folders with same and different files that I wanted to merge. This program allowed me to to just that.
This is an easy to use, great video tool...

This is certainly a power tool and may not meet the needs of some readers

Pros
But if you need a file compare, folder compare and/or a powerful, reliable auto-merge, this tool is by far and away the best I have ever used. Since it i Java it runs on Linux and MacOSX, since we are migrating some of our operation to Apple this is great for me me, only need one diff/merge product. The command line interface seems to be a very complete implementation - so integrating with our SCM products looks like a "piece of cake".
Cons
I haven't found anything worth mentioning

Pros
but Im trying for the first time to develop software - a newbie if you will. I may not have a full grasp on it, but If I learn better how to use it, I'll come back for a better review. I just needed something easyer to follow.
Cons
Summary
Fast, but confusing and not free
FarmerChetDecember 19, 2006
Pros
Loaded and diffed files faster than other tools tested.
Cons
In the trial version many of the lines in the files are collapsed down. <p>In many of my diffs there were three dots (. . .) for lines 30 to 300 in a diff. <p>Does this mean they are the same? <p>There are indicators of differences in the right of the screen, but clicking does nothing, so you cannot determine where in the file the diffs are. <p>Lastly, the program cannot handle line diffs. If something is the same line-by-line, but a few lines are in a different order in one file, the tool marks the files as being different. <p>WinDiff and others can sense this and tell you that the lines are off but that the file is otherwise the same. <p>Cannot seem to determine 'difference in whitespace only'.
