  I know, but:
  * kdiff3 often take decisions behind your back, and results in broken
    merges, so it's a no-go ;
  * xxdiff has (IMHO) a very bad and non-intuitive UI, I never get to
    make it work ;
  * I don't use macos (opendiff) ;
  * emerge is emacs right ? :)

  Though I gave meld another chance, and it works really better than it
used to, so I may give it a try :) Let's hope I won't be disappointed by
meld :)
