Best I've tried so far. The n-way diffing is insanely useful, letting you diff any amount of files simultaneously. Albeit ... I was too quick to type. It seems to currently lack Word Wrap, which is a key feature for me. Given how good it seems otherwise, I won't knock down more than one star. Hoping Word Wrap gets implemented.

What is Diffuse Merge Tool?
Diffuse is a small and simple text merge tool written in Python. With Diffuse, you can easily merge, edit, and review changes to your code.
Diffuse is able to compare an arbitrary number of files side-by-side and gives users the ability to manually adjust line-matching and directly edit files. Diffuse can also retrieve revisions of files from Bazaar, CVS, Darcs, Git, Mercurial, Monotone, RCS, Subversion, and SVK repositories for comparison and merging.

Diffuse is the fastest Linux-based visual diff tool listed here on AlternativeTo, but it lacks some critical features:
[Edited by dandv, June 28]
The only native Linux tool I've found to diff in under one second two CSV files that only differ in the date format. See https://sourceforge.net/p/kdiff3/bugs/217/ for details.
Diffuse is the only open source linux application that enables manual alignment. kdiff3 has the functionality, but it is less ergonomic.
what do you call manual alignment? in linux i use vimdiff or meld. i'm starting to use diffuse when i'm in windows and missing meld.
On a long text file, with redundant text, the tool is lost. Diffuse enables you to tell that line 123 of file 1 must be aligned with line 153 of file 2, and then relaunch the comparison
