Reception
editIn December 2002, Guiffy SureMerge was awarded five out of five cows by Tucows on all 3 platforms (Windows, Mac, and Linux).[citation needed] Scott Swedorski, editor-in-chief and founder of Tucows, said, "To our knowledge, Guiffy is the first multi-platform application to receive 5 Cows for all versions."[2][3][4][5]
In June 2006, Guiffy Suremerge received the Jolt Productivity Award. Rick Wayne, a Jolt Award judge, said, "Guiffy Software's SureMerge uses an advanced set of three-way merge algorithms to detect potentially dangerous conflicts other tools might miss."[6]
In a November 2008 review, Guiffy SureMerge was awarded five out of five stars by CNET.[citation needed] The reviewers found Guiffy SureMerge to be a "tool with serious muscle and a much easier, more intuitive interface than you'll find on any freeware package".[7][failed verification]
