Amen! One of my pet peeves. Bigger than, sweeter than, sexier than; yes. But different than? Bleep no! If something is different, it’s different FROM whatever you’re comparing. However in a debate or discussion, one may differ WITH his opponent.

Excellent distinction! One may also differ from one's opponent by being, for example, taller than he.

(Please note that I committed a gender microaggression there.)
