I actually use BBEdit as my remote diff-ing tool, since one project I'm working on has multiple developers with no CVS in place -- edit the local, open the remote through Transmit, then shift-click the two files in the document drawer and choose "Compare Selected Documents." That’s great, thanks!

Perhaps it's just so Xcode has something to point to if BBEdit isn't installed? I often end up looking at files in the Finder when the instinct to compare them arrives :) I would agree it's easier to use a command line tool if you have the paths handy and you're already in there.

For me at least, that's a lot faster than finding the files in the Finder. I use bbdiff or opendiff, depending on whether I feel like using BBEdit’s diff or FileMerge.
