I use dispatch-conf all the time. I too have never looked back.
I use diff="vimdiff -R %s %s" in /etc/dispatch-conf.conf
NOT SURE WHAT '-R' IS now though. Perhaps it should not be there.
Then I add the following line to my .vimrc, which allows me to press
F2 to exit the vimdiff windows in one shot.
map <F2> <Esc>:q<CR><Esc>:q<CR>
The old config shows up on the left, and the new config shows up on the right.
Press Ctrl-W and the left or right arrow key to switch between window buffers.
What I usually do, if there are additions to the new config that I
want, is copy them from the right window, paste them in the left
window, and save the left window. Then, I hit F2, then 'z' for zap,
and my old config has the new settings that it needs.
If you don't like vim, then you might not like vimdiff.
