That's also my tool of choice. Combined with the key sequene "= h x", which shows you only the files which differ. `ediff-directories' is not recursive, but it gives you also subdirectory pairs to compare. Just hit enter on such a pair. As bonus, it even works for remote directories. Best regards, Michael.
