What are the best diff plugins for Sublime Text?

Pros

Pro
Provides inline side by side diffs

Diffy computes a diff between two panels using sublime texts multi panel feature, and highlights the diffs inline.

Cons

Con
Diffs cannot be cleared if you leave 2 panel mode

If you create a diff in 2 panel mode, then switch to 1 panel mode, the clear diff binding does not work.

Con
Diffs don't live update

Diffs are only computed when you call it via key bindings, so if you edit the file after generating a diff, the old diff will still be there until you clear it or regenerate it, which can be kinda confusing.

Con
No command pallet entry

The only way to compute a diff is through key bindings, and the default key bindings are ctrl+k, ctrl+d for diff, and ctrl+k, ctrl+c for clear diff, which will require some memorization or customization.
