I want for a nice diff tool on Mac that doesn’t cost an arm and a leg like Kaleidoscope. Right now I am using one called CompareMerge2 from the App Store which is pretty good.

I too, settled on CompareMerge2 after casting around fruitlessly, and lusting after Kaleidoscope.

Here a coupon code for 40% off: HN1337

Thanks for sharing that! I, too, have drooled over Kaleidoscope for ages. But I confess: at the discount rate it's still more expensive than my IDE (Nova). It has a million cool features that alas I don't need. I just want that gorgeous source code diffing, at a lower price point.

(I don't expect you to say "great idea, sir, here's your coupon!". I'm sure you've done your analysis and you're at the price point that works best for you. I'm also not saying it's overpriced, just that it's more than I'm willing to pay for it given the functionality I want from it. This is just in the spirit of friendly user feedback.)

Kaleidoscope was fantastic before it turned into yet another subscription service :/
