Indeed it does come with dev tools and text wrangler works just as well with Versions as does Apples native FileMerge. The ingenius part of text wrangler is the ability to have the freedom to choose what gets merged where so on so forth. Kaleidoscope however is more or less a difference tool. TortoiseSVN without a shadow of a doubt covers all aspects and requirements of all types of version control. Which begs the question, will there ever be a tool that can ever match it on MAC? Not for another 10 years I highly doubt...
