Hi,

Let me put my 2 cents in the discussion. I do not believe we gonna see TM2 anytime soon, regardless Alan giving us a glimpse of hope we gonna see new shiny TM2 till end of this year. I am not a judge what is the real reason that we are promised to see alphas, betas, but none of the promises are ever fulfilled (so far).

I may only speculate (trying not to be troll here) that making an impression that TM2 is in steady development may be a good way to fight with possible competition, as nobody dares to start developing a new text editor that can be real threat for TextMate knowing that version 2 (aka Holy Grail) can be released anytime soon.

But for us TextMate users, it is no good at all. As the old long long standing bugs or feature request (i.e. line wrap with indentations or better memory handling for text files with really long lines) never going to be fixed, as it TM2 is the one to sort them out.

Once again I don't need TM2, I just need to have couple of issues fixed in TM1.
