After having tried out TortoiseMerge a bit (me and two co-workers), we
have a few issues at least (- and +):

- Esc quits the application without warning :-p
- I really like the '4-way merge' kdiff3 does, where the ancestor is
  separate. I assume it's identical to merge output in TortoiseMerge.
  This makes it much easier to make mistakes IMO.
- The app is ugly, although not in all ways as ugly as kdiff3. The most
  recent look possible is VS2005.. we're in 2010 now.
- Keyboard navigation is not optimal... there are several problems
  using ctrl+f9 and f10 (theirs/mine).
- There are issues where you select 'mine' but get ancestor instead.
- Sometimes hunks are merged when you move to another hunk and then go
  back. Sometimes one of the merged hunk is a 'deleted ancestor' hunk,
  and you will now be unable to select a particular version without
  getting the original ancestor text as well!
+ The editor has undo; this is missing from kdiff3 :(

In short: I don't think this tool is mature enough by far.
