I'm evaluating BC3 at the moment and the overall experience is positive.
I've been comparing some XML files the last few days and have been disappointed with the comparison results. It's related to automatic alignment. I simply delete a single XML block but the Diff result shows two edits. The alignment is getting confused by similar looking closing tag symbols. Manually aligning sometimes works around the issue (slow), other times even that does not work, with the comparison now showing a new third difference even though blocks are identical.
I have not attached a XML example file, however I think the issue is reproducible enough. Just grab one of your visual studio project files and delete some tags to simulate project changes.
To work around this issue I've:
1) Played with the alignment settings in options menu.
2) Selected XML for the file format, which did show correct syntax highlighting but nothing else.
3) Tried comparing using AraxisMerge and Diffuse, which both showed correct alignment and comparison.
