Because TextMate isn't that great.  It being a good (arguably the best) OS
X programmers editor doesn't mean it's great.  SlickEdit, if it was native
Cocoa instead of X, would be much, much better.

So those of use waiting for a version 2 hope that the many issues, both
visual and functional, with finally be fixed.  Then maybe it'll be a great
editor.
