Does the basics very well. Good use of color.
works great, had to do a difference check between two folders for wordpress theme. Below shows a quick diff comparison on a file selected from two different repos, and also a comparison of two different repos (highlighted in blue)

The interface is more basic compared to Beyond Compare and it's not possible to paste the path to compare files and folders
Very rich comparison visual tool.
I was unable to download Meld from the official website, for some reason the direct link does not open (Windows version). I only managed to download it when I went to the chocolatey website and downloaded it (there is a button on the left side below) and got the file "meld.3.20.2.nupkg". If you open it with WinRAR you will find the .MSI installer inside a folder. That way it worked.
