That's also my tool of choice. Combined with the key sequene "= h x",
which shows you only the files which differ.
`ediff-directories' is not recursive, but it gives you also subdirectory
pairs to compare. Just hit enter on such a pair.
As bonus, it even works for remote directories.
Best regards, Michael.
