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.

WinMerge is absolutely indispensible – not only for developers. If you are just a regular computer user and realize that your colleagues have created several copies of a file (or even a whole folder), WinMerge helps you quickly find the differences (if any).
