Not at all. In Clearcase you have a graphical interface where the conflicts
can be taken care of as the merge happens. No manual editting of files.

Most of the time, merges happen automatically. Manual intervention is
only required when they can't happen automatically. Conflicts always
take (some amount) of a manual work. Merges never do. I don't see how
you can get around this fact in any system, short of exclusivity.
Looks like you may be confused by terminology. RTFM.
