Comparing is slightly complicated but roughly speaking:
Difftastic only diffs code, which is only 2/3 of all diffs.
When only measured on stuff difftastic supports:
Difftastic is perfect on 64% of diffs and near-perfect on 17% more.
Omnidiff is perfect on 90% of diffs and near-perfect on 5% more.
Speed is
p50 - 35ms difftastic vs 4ms OmniDiff p99 - 637ms vs 420ms
Difftastic wins on license. MIT vs AGPL.
> Difftastic wins on license. MIT vs AGPL.
I'm a little confused on that, since in other comments you've mentioned that AGPL was a deliberate choice for <reasons>. So, what's the definitions of "winning" here?
It was a tongue-in-cheek joke :)
But it was worth pointing out the difference in license, it is one of the ways in which the projects differ.
The more permissive MIT is often an advantage if you want to build it into something bigger, which is reasonable for diff tool.
Discrete users would arguably win more with integrity of AGPL, but developers have reasons to prefer MIT.
