Currently when I try running "idea.sh diff" to diff files (as workaround for IDEA-5266), it doesn't work when IDEA is open, which makes it almost useless for our team.

The IDEA architecture doesn't allow to safely initialize command-line applets without requiring a unique instance lock. If you already have IDEA running, you can invoke a diff in your running IDEA instance.
