Kaleidoscope vs Sublime Merge

Kaleidoscope has a beautiful and simple UI. It displays the two files that are being compared side to side, highlighting all the differences in a way that's easy to understand.

When working in code, line-by-line diff can still be hard to spot small changes within the line. Kaleidoscope will highlight what has changed.

Kaleidoscope supports image diff viewer in addition to git diff. It's able to find even the slightest changes between two versions of the same image.

All actions are real Git actions which minimizes confusion and makes it perfect for beginners and professionals alike.

Nothing is faster. I used to use Gitkraken, but on large projects Gitkraken is barely usable.

All actions have either direct hotkeys or corresponding entries in the palette (same as Sublime Text). This means a very streamlined and fast usage.

No account- or server checkbacks (only for updates). All password handling is pure Git which means much less trouble and confusion.

Windows portable version.

Very good performance.

Sublime Merge may be downloaded and evaluated for free, however, a license must be purchased for continued use. There is no enforced time limit for the evaluation.

The product is paid but you can test for your life without paying (similar to sublime text).

The user interface is designed excellently, and it's really fast to navigate with mouse or keyboard. It's never obscured which git commands are used, and commands can be modified/extended if desired. The visual appearance of the interface can be changed via themes, new git commands can be added, and even the menus can be extended.

A license gives you 3 years of updates, and you can use the product after that indefinitely.
