Two of my favorite tools for line-by-line text comparison are diff and FileMerge. One reason why I like them so much is because they are lightweight alternatives for word processors like Microsoft Word, which you wouldn't be inclined to open for coding (that's one of my primary uses).

diff is a simple CLI-based tool accessible on most *nix systems. The basic format is diff . It comes with a lot of powerful options too. To list a few:

FileMerge is as simple as it gets for file comparison with a GUI. FileMerge comes with any installation of Xcode so it's basically free. However, you'll have to download the whole Xcode package (~1 GB) to get it unless you can find it floating around on the net alone.

FileMerge allows you to select the changes you want to keep through a menu at the bottom-right that designates the favored document. By default, the right (as opposed to left) document is selected. Below the two separate documents is the final output that will result from the merge. FileMerge also allows you to edit/add content in this section before merging and saving.

The cool thing about Perforce (besides being platform agnostic) is it compares not only files and folders, but images too. Not to mention it's FREE. I only briefly read about it and watched some sample videos on the site, but it's pretty powerful. It also can be used in parallel with Git. Read about it here.

After the recommendation to checkout Perforce, I started doing some more research and stumbled upon a couple other tools. First off, free code editor TextWrangler (Mac) includes file comparison.Diffmerge seems like a really cool alternative. It's also free, available on multiple pllatforms and includes merging of 3 files and integration with Windows Explorer. Kaleidoscope is another option, though you'll have to pay ~$40. It includes many of the same features as Perforce.
