Replacement editor for NPP with a compare feature?

[JTsyo]

Notepad++ crashes the video drives when using the DIFF function to compare 2 files. Is there another editor that can do this well and is a decent editor, pls no VI editor.

Well, I tend to use an editor and a diff tool, so I get the best of both worlds. If you really like npp and don't want to switch, consider something like Winmerge for diffs.

Time to write a NPP plugin that doesn't crash!

I have a Compare plugin that works. However you can't use it to merge just see differences.

'diff' and 'diff3' are command line GNU tools. GNU 'emacs' is a behemoth of an editor, which includes an "ediff" mode that does use the command line tools for the raw work.
