   Certainly. Except ... when you've done an automated refactoring(-step) that   
   affects 23 files, whatever you use as SCM/Diff tool combination may be rather   
   suboptimal at giving you a quick and good overview of exactly these changes.   
      
   (I certainly prefer the overview VisualAssistX gives me, line by line, over   
   all changes of a refactoring step, over the diff-view of n files where I then   
   have to jump to each changed line --- and it's a 2-click operation to open all   
   diffs in Araxis Merge    
   in my current setup, so it's already really easy for me to open the diffs.)

   Good C++ code is better than good C code, but   
   bad C++ can be much, much worse than bad C code.
