Not to dissuade you from using bazaar, but darcs.net is up, and
according to the activity indicated by the web view of the project's
unstable (development?) branch, as well as their bug tracking interface,
it is alive and well.

For bazaar, I believe that Stephen Ward has developed a plugin that
allows the use of external diff tools:

https://launchpad.net/bzr-difftools

However, I don't know if it works with the latest version of bazaar.
