Because the file system is there to group files into folders. Having  
TextMate do the exact same thing is IMO conceptually wrong. It also  
complicates things like for example having commands run on a project  
and generally just makes your project “groupings” non-portable.

Using the file system makes a lot more sense, and things which were  
previously “project specific” can then instead be “folder specific”,  
which is generally exactly what it is.

I am not sure I agree that using the file system is less convenient --  
but let’s hold off discussing this till there actually is a beta.
