#32Amazing website design, love the attention to design that quality mac apps get in comparison to windows ones.
Beyond Compare 3 -- which I'm a really happy user of -- seems to be much more powerful. For example, it can actually merge files. And there's clearly been a ton of attention paid to its design.
Beyond Compare is amazing. The only app I miss from Windows. If you are on Windows, and haven't used it, you are missing out.

Beyond compare if fantastic. If you miss it that much then you can run it nicely under Wine/Darwine/Crossover etc. I've been using Deltawalker on the Mac which is nice if a little brittle sometimes. It sucks hugely for FTP/SFTP compares though.

#34Sofa sort of has a slow track record for releasing updates. They tend to just fizzle out.
Anyone remember Disco? They released one version and a few small updates, people bought it, they HAVE NEVER DONE ANYTHING ELSE TO IT.
Versions is in the same boat. I doubt there will be a 2.0 release of it either.

#35Expensive. Is it really that much better than Apple's FileMerge?

Same with Versions indeed. I asked for some really simple improvements. All were promised more than a year ago. None appeared in any update.

#37these are from the same guys that made Versions ( http://www.versionsapp.com ), the subversion app for mac
Yes, the Subversion app that still doesn't provide a merge capability despite users' requests for it year after year. Kaleidoscope does look beautiful (not unlike Versions), but given Sofa's track record I wouldn't hold out much hope for support after the initial release.
I switched to Cornerstone. Not that I use SVN that much anymore .. but some clients still do. Cornerstone is much more pragmatic about features. Like drag and drop simply works.

#38Seems nice. Although, just makes me wish Beyond Compare was available on the Mac as a native app.
+1
I tested a lot of compare utilities for Mac and finally settled on running a virtual box with Windows on it so I can run BeyondCompare. This app looks promising, though. For me, a killer missing feature is the folder compare view.

I hope they can turn around this trend. They make great stuff.
I liked Disco a lot and it helped me out. Then it stopped.
So I wrote my own, getting ready to release soon.

Yeah the only thing that found that is close for Mac is Changes - http://connectedflow.com/changes/
