I Secondly, rather than implementing a complete diff handler, what's wrong with opening the FileMerge application that is part of the OS X dev kit? (/Developer/Applications/Utilities/FileMerge.app)
I already tried to convince myself that I could use FileMerge... Filemerge's diff representation is cool, but it's almost impossible to do any edit there, as you have to make the edit in the 3rd "merge" panel and you can only save to one file (by merging to one of the file). I want to be able to edit both of them. FM looks like a never finished product, IMHO. So it's worst than using TW...

comparing files visually is possible, if you have beta 5 you can use this command: (its based on some of chris thomas' subversion commands)
Yeah, but do you see the difference between this solution and BBEdit/TW or even FileMerge's one? Even with links to the files as Eric Hsu proposed this would still not be as good as my actual solution. It's much more easier to see the differences and edit them in the "real" files, with only an highlight of the selected difference, not all the "diff" messages.

That would be "BBEdit Lite", their free version. As bad as the full version ;-).
We're all here cause we prefer paying for TM than using TW for free, but BB/TW still have some feature no other editor on mac has. Like.... a good diff feature? ;)
I maybe biased because I used BBEdit before TM, but comparing two docs easily is something I'm used to.
