In this ~15 minute video, I show how to inspect the differences between two or three files in a side-by-side comparison. Ediff lets you merge changes from on...
This has nothing to do with the diff program. Ediff is not able to highlight whitespace differences like it highlights non-whitespace differences. Maybe it is possible to do somehow, but by default, whitespace differences generate a diff region with no highlights (or as ediff calls it, refinements).
It is because highlights are done on word level, and whitespaces are not words.
