Nomenclature Changes
Trying to do a merge, it was not clear what "source", "destination" and "base" meant. I would change the names from source and destination to something less "judgmental" - kdiff uses A and B --> C. That seems intuitive and saves screen real estate.

New Diff dialog when you've already got the tool open
Basically, when running the diff tool outside of the IDE if you want to compare another set of diffs, you'll nee to close the semantic merge tool and reopen it.
Would be great if we could be presented with the "welcome dialog" you see when you open the app for the first time.

Cloud based merging
May not work well with existing tool sets, immediately, but setup a service where rules and such can get set per client, and users have a way to merge up files. This would solve issues with clients for different platforms.

Find option does not perform search on both files of diff tool
The Find options only searches the strings on the active file. (Although there is no indication of which file is that.)

Diff detects comment and part of method as a diff unit
When two files are compared, the specific changes are highlighted with a darker color, inside the different blocks. This is useful, but when presented with different blocks, it may behave weirdly.
Since I cannot post images online, I have 7zipped the files to reproduce with the result image in a protected file under my domain.
The files can be found at this address: http://tests.alphasmanifesto.com/Merge-WrongDiffBlockHighligted.7z
The password for the file is "mergebegins" (without quotes).10 votes -
Encoding: "none"?
An option available for reading file in a specific encoding is to have it set to "none". What does this mean?
"None" label is confusing since every data stream needs to be interpreted with an encoding, so it is for sure that an encoding is present at some point.
If this is a shortcut to a specific encoding detection, then "Automatic" could be a better label for it.
