> AST driven (semantic) merge and diff tools?

Would you say these are commonly in use, and if so what are some "mainstream" examples? IME most people just use git's built-in diff/merge...

I find Mergiraf pretty pleasant to use and frequently pretty helpful as a time-saver. Handles TOML and Rust for me, and I have way fewer manual interventions, especially after supplementing it with rustfmt rules to not do a bunch of merged use statements in one go. Easy to configure as a jujutsu tool as well.
