One tool I’m always using is Beyond Compare. This is one of those ‘what did I do before I discovered this’ tools. Folder compare, remote compare over FTP, merge, etc. All the good stuff you expect in a diff tool. I’ve been using the 2.x version forever and kind of gave up on checking their site for updates but a few days ago I checked and WHOA - version 3.0 is on the way (in beta) AND…
They have a Linux version! Holy S–T Batman!!!
I haven’t given it a really thorough test but all the basics seem to work just as well as the Windows version. They also have a nice upgrade plan and you can by a ‘dual platform’ license that covers both Windows and Linux versions. Best thing is it’s still under $50 for the basic version. Pro adds a few things like 3-way merge, SFTP support, and a few other features.
