I'm a real happy BC user, though I don't do 3-way merges with it yet
(requires the pro features enabled).  The downside from Erik's point
of view is that they don't have a real OS X version as the Delphi RT
hasn't gotten there yet.

I use BC to do backups and synchs of working directories as well as
for comparing source files.  It also compares the textual content of
pdfs, the text/csv of MSO and OO files, and has syntax support
(including XML).  Oh, and they've recently added Windows Registry
support.

Their web site has some videos showing use of the merge features.
