This is an unfair statement by me. I am unqualified to
make this judgement since I have not fully explored
TM's capabilities. It was a statement based on Lisp
users' general take on TM, gleaned from friends, blogs
and random email posts: TM is excellent, but not
preferred for Lisp, and by extension, I inferred
Lispish M'ca. But then again, they have a dedicated,
mature environment that is thoroughly optimized for
Lisp nuances.

Thanks for all the pointers. I will take a look at the
bundles you mentioned in addition to a serious sit
down with manual.

Also, off topic, whether people realize it or not, TM
can be used as a semantic outliner for text. If you
set up your metadata in the Finder's smart folder
structure, you can leverage that into tmproj for text
manipulation. For it to really work, some sort of
basic sort mechanism in the tmproj pane has to be in
place. Plus, your text files in tmproj have to be
small. While I have not tried it, I'm assuming you
should be able to link text in different files under
one of the html schemes. This is something worth
exploring I think.
