Linqpad is one of the few tools that do what they need to do without much fuzz and in a straightforward manner. Beyond Compare is also in the same category.

I am glad that the UX people haven't gotten around to mess it up yet.



+1 Beyond Compare. It's been on my list of must installs for every new system I've set up for many years.


For Windows OSes, winmerge [1] has been a solid free alternative to beyond compare for me for years.

Did they ever get around to three-way merges? That's a must-have if you use Git as a VCS.


I dont know. I Never use three way merges for anything productive.

Always felt three way merges were a great way to melt human brains.


Use VSCode for this. Also has three-way merge.
