I don't get why everyone is so up in arms about this. Did text change in some fundamental way over the past three years, thus rendering all the glowing reviews I have read of TM1 void? Or is it just our irrational obsession with newer and shinier things?
There are some issues with Textmate. One of the most glaring and commonly cited is the absence of split windows.
What's really unfortunate is that the handful of features that the majority of people are really itching for don't require the kind of Big Rewrite/second-system effect that's currently going on. It's frustrating.
Indeed, if split windows, full screen, and a few nitpicks over how the project window is refreshed, etc were addressed, a lot of people would be content to wait until judgement day for TM2.
