GTK+/pygtk 2.14
GLib/pygobject 2.16

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
Crossplatform, Free, Opensource, Highlight line difference.
Meld is OK for comparing files and directories only. What it doesn't do anymore is allow you to copy changes from one side to the other. For a few years now the "Copy to Left" and "Copy to Right" buttons have been greyed out on every system I've tried it on (Linux, Windows, Mac)
I have been using Meld both when programming as well as simply tweaking my Linux setup. Meld does everything I have ever wanted from the tool and a bit more to top things off. For either professional use or every-day diff and merge purposes, I would highly suggest trying Meld out.
Very rich comparison visual tool.
