Has been my go-to visual diff front-end for years. Enough features, and very easy to install on any Linux or Unix distribution, even if it is not available in its package manager, or you are using a system where you do not have root. So you can in a way bring tkdiff along it in your personal toolkit.

Absolutely the best way to visually see file differences. The reason there are so few tickets is just because it is just works.

Thank you very much for the free open source program!

Tkdiff is just so much better than any command-line rendition of diffs I have ever seen. The documentation is awesome, once you stop looking for a man page and hit the Help button in the GUI

diff is classical tool for UNIX-like systems. but it is textual. tkdiff is a classical GUI for diff. lightweight and effective.
