It could have been that I was clumsy being a newbie, but even a simple Cmd-V was a challenge. With Kaleidoscope, the workflow felt more complicated than necessary. For example, I just turned on “Intelligently split blocks of changed text based on matched line pairs”, and now I can finally merge changes line by line rather than in multi-line chunks. I just downloaded Araxis Merge and have a feeling that I’ll end up paying for this after the trial period.Īraxis Merge not only gets the basics right (pasting text from clipboard, in-app editing) but also offers a set of preferences that can be adjusted to make diffing work better for ChatGPT-edited English text-as opposed to code. Right now, I'm extremely pleased with Araxis Merge, though the price tag is indeed pretty hefty. Until relatively recently, DeltaWalker had been my hands-on, no-questions-asked, accept-no-substitutes choice, but the developer (who is awesome) had some issues porting it to Catalina, and it lost a little shine in the process (the diffing and merging are still great, but its integration with the MacOS ecosystem is still a little awkward at present). but unfortunately not my go-to for MacOS development anymore. which I suppose it is.įourth: DeltaWalker is awesome, not very expensive, extremely capable, extremely underrated. It works great, but it feels like a Windows port. Third: BeyondCompare is ugly as relatively expensive, extremely capable and highly rated. Second: Araxis Merge is nice looking, very expensive, extremely capable and extremely underrated. First: Kaleidoscope is very pretty, very expensive, very limited and very overrated.
