Agreed that this is somewhat annoying, but hey, it's a command line
tool. How else would you solve displaying conflicts?

Yup. That's possible. And much much more... ;-) (I don't know the
ClearCase tool, so I can't really offer a comparison, sorry.)

Others you might want to try:

- meld (in python, IMO worse than kdiff3)
- xxdiff (I've never really used that one, but other monotone hackers
seem to like it as well)
