Is it a good idea to use svn and check diff in command line in Mac OSX?

I used to use svn with TortoiseSVN in Windows.
And I always compared every file I modified to the old ones with WinMerge after every time I modified them.

But I couldn't find a svn client like TortiseSVN and a directory/file comparison tool like WinMerge in mac.

So unfortunately, I have to use svn in command line.
And I have to use svn diff command and check differences on the terminal screen.

I'm very afraid I will make more mistakes and bugs if I use command line instead of GUI.
Is it good I a idea to use command line instead of GUI?

And is it normal to compare every file I modified to the old ones with WinMerge after every time I modified them?
Or am i worrying too much?
Is there a application like WinMerge easily and quickly to compare files in 2 directories in mac?
