git diff old.txt new.txt did the trick. Incredible tool. Thanks

git diff also has different command-line flags and different behavior, e.g. git diff <dir1> <dir2> diffs two directories recursively, while diff <dir1> <dir2> is not recursive and requires the -r flag (which git diff doesn't have) for a recursive diff. I'm not convinced aliasing is such a hot idea.

git diff does not work if both files happen to be in the same repository and currently checked-out.

git diff doesn't work for e.g. pipes

This doesn't work for me... echo one > foo; echo two > bar; git diff foo bar produces no output, while diff foo bar produces 1c1 < one --- > two (with proper formatting, of course)

git diff should be at the top of your answer! +1 for pointing out that it works even outside of a repository.
