I don't think it should look easy for newbies, but it surely look nice
and not too complex for already skilled programmers, that are maybe used
to vim or something like that.

It is much more powerful than all the others from my experience, but in
the first few months is really hard to get through and be really
productive with it...

Well I'm not an expert but that seemed rather easy,
ediff-directories is not what you want?
It gives you a summary and then you can do many things from there...

Anyway the error I get when in my configuration I try to kill the ediff
session is

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
Quit this Ediff session & show containing session group? (y or n) 
ediff-cleanup-mess: Attempt to delete minibuffer or sole ordinary window
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
