What's difftool?  What's so great about it?

Forgive my ignorance but it has been many years since I last used
BitKeeper and even when I did use it I didn't get into many of the
features it offered.  Its entirely possible I never learned about
difftool.

I've never found that I cannot get the information I need out of Git
when I need it.  Actually I've found it to be the easiest VCS to get
data out of, beating CVS, Perforce, BitKeeper, SVN, etc. hands down.
Of course I also know Git better than I know those tools...
