Possibly I was missing something, but I found Kaleidoscope's handling of directory comparisons was totally unworkable for anything but trivial sized projects.
Meaning, comparing two slightly different copies of a project containing maybe 1/4 a million files, with a few variations between them. It takes quite a while to initially open the comparison window, and that's fine as it's a lot of data to churn thru.
But where the problem lies, is when you dbl click into a subdirectory of that comparison, it again takes forever to open a window for just the contents of that directory, even thou it already has done a full comparison of all the files in it, when opening the parent comparison. For some reason it starts again in that sub directory instead of just using the comparison data it's previously generated.
I've used Araxis Merge, it's clunky, not really a true mac app, but actually works fairly decently. Pity it's effectively a subscription.
Meld is ok, but crashes with large comparisons, and the UI is fairly painful.
