Simply? Very, very good

I've been using CompareMerge for a few years now, here and there as I needed it and I can say it is simply one of the best tools I've ever used.
Intutive interface, great information, excellent options and capabilities for the task at hand,
Simply a delight to use as I'm not hunting around for how to use it or taking hours to work through tutorials, it does a lot of heavy lifting and I simply crank it up when I need Compare and/or Merge capabilities and it provides significant capabilities simply as a natural flow, which makes the whole experience a helluva lot more fun than many tools.
Kudos to the dev team, thanks for a great contribution.

useful alternative to windiff, filemerge

Original review:
CompareMerge is great - coming from the windows world, I was looking for something similar to 'windiff' - compare merge fits the bill at a reasonable cost. When you consider that one of the competitors to comparemerge is $70, I think CompareMerge does a great job at $14

Note that my expectations are to compare text files, like you'd use for programming websites, and compare merge does a great job there, comparing whole folder stuctures and letting you drill down into individual files.

Also note: I've owned this program for quite a long time now - I've been impressed that it's been kept current and that new updates and features come out every now and then. It's definitely one of those purchases that I feel like I've gotten great value from.

Saving my hide

I have many versions of a very complicated Excel workbook. I startd it twelve years ago and have just kept adding features. I have not been very organized in the updates so there are many inconsistent versions of my codes.
This app has let me compare versions by exporting VBA modules from two versions, then comparing. The app is very easy to use. I have no complaints.
