It turns out to be an extremely non-trivial problem.
The hidden benefit of (text-based) code environments is that problem is well understood and well solved for information represented as two strings of lines.
Non-text code paradigms fight an uphill battle for utility because they have to each reinvent that wheel, and many of the solutions are not portable to similar problems. I've used the diffing tools in labview, and they definitely work but I wouldn't want to have to rely on them for a large-scale project.
