Merging resource files is much more pain than merging code with text-based merge tools. Code files are usually relatively short so you can get the diff sooner or later. But merging big resx files as we do every few days and the VS designer reorders them alphabetically, this is simply a nightmare. Buying semantic merge would be a no-brainer for me, if it would support merging resx (or xml files in general).
