Heh,
I remember that contest. Spent a weekend reviewing all of the contest entries. The best implementation didn't win and didn't even enter the contest.
This guy posted his code[^] into the discussion forum. It outperformed all of the others by a wide margin and I couldn't find any errors. Unfortunately he never officially entered the contest. It's his only post on the site.

Yeah, I still use my entry occasionally -- such as last week.

VisualSVN here.
I guess that means Tortoise SVN but anyway is integrates with visual studio and really rocks for me.

Meld. Used it for years on Linux. Haven’t done a diff in windows for 20 years or so. There might be something better on that side of the fence.
If you can't laugh at yourself - ask me and I will do it for you.

Meld is my weapon of choice too.

I use WinMerge. It's open-source, still maintained, and available in both 32- and 64-bit versions (for those who have really large files... )

Notepad++ has a decent diff.
I also use a really old windows tool that continues to just work. It predates scroll wheels on mice.
Eclipse has good compare+merge.
DOS fc.exe for simple stuff.

Beyond Compare for me is great

For once I agree with you.
But you forgot to say that it is a paid product

If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about?

Like Nelek mentioned, it is a paid product, but a trial version is available. Unique at least for me: Syntax (language) recognition. Sorry for my English, I don't know how to explain it
@Nelek most probably you can explain it
I only can say it is worth the money, at least for me.
[Edit]
It is not only a diff tool, it is especially a kind of a merge tool

WinMerge works very well, it's simple free and fast.

Free Tool I use WinMerge and it is pretty good and enough for most use cases
Paid Tool I use BeyondCompare 4 and it is the best I have seen so far

I use WinMerge too, but now I try to find something new...

I see that you asked above...
BeyondCompare is pretty similar to WinMerge, but it is more powerful, faster with copying (you can theoretically multithread it)...
It compares the files, but not only plain text, pictures and other stuff.
I have used WinMerge for years, and I still install it in PCs I touch for family or friends, but in my PCs, I have changed to BC.
Last WinMerge I used in Win10 had already got new functions and could do more than the versions I was used to use, but I still prefer BC.
The trial version commented above... I can't say anything about it, since I use the full version.
(BTW... this reminds me I have to check for newer version)

SourceGear | DiffMerge[^] has been my weapon of choice for the last 12 or 14 years.
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, weighing all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?
