Changes
Eclipse is good, but is often not considered due to its dependency on Java. It's also pretty tough to use in my opinion. If you have a non-Java workflow, I'm pretty sure you're not going to be interested in Eclipse.
FileMerge lacks in place editing and requires a merge output file. Plus, it doesn't attempt to match the lines in the diff blocks, making it more difficult to tell what changed in the text file.
As far as vfx, I don't understand why this is a net negative in a development tool. One could make this argument for any application, are developer tools _supposed_ to be ugly and difficult to use?

You mentioned CSSEdit and TextMate, two great apps. I'm currently working on integrating Changes closely with TextMate. If you're a subversion user, there's a version of svnX on the wiki (http://wiki.changesapp.com/) which integrates with Changes as well.
I'll look into the icons issue you mention, maybe an improvement could be made there.
