Today, again, I'm faced with troubles merging folders on the mac. But this time I don't want to discuss / try to solve the issue with finder.

So, just wondering once more, anyone have a good software out there, to recursively copy files from one folder to another without killing the destination?

I use SyncTwoFolders and I've never had a problem with it. Just be sure you have the options configured the way you want them before you start or you could unintentionally lose data.

There is also FileSync which I have less experience with, you can also accomplish the same thing using Carbon Copy Cloner or SuperDuper!.

Does Mac OS X's "ditto" solve this problem?
