I've been using WinMerge for likely 20+ years now, close to its original release. Just a terrific product and extremely fast and stable. I've never experienced a single bug with this app which is extremely rare for any product, and I've been a heavy-duty user since day 1 (a very experienced C++ developer myself). Flashier apps may exist by now with more bells and whistles (though WinMerge already offers a lot), but if you're looking for a basic side-by-side comparison product, it does a great job (and yes, you can plug it in 3rd-party apps like Visual Studio for instance to do Git comparisons). I don't care how old it is now, newer isn't always better (often less stable in fact), and WinMerge will be my go-to app for a long time to come yet. Strongly recommend it.

Turn on word wrapping. Then it is perfect! An improvement over linux diff and Windiff. Nice color highlighting of paragraph where difference occurs and what the differences are.
