TM2 can’t show multiple folders in the same window.
What is the rationale that defines where the textmate configuration is set? For example, the antialias font settings is defined system-wide with the user "defaults" command, while the font family is defined within a .tm_properties file.
You can change font via View → Show Fonts and it is stored in user defaults.
Generally things should be set in the GUI and .tm_properties is a way to *make exceptions* (generally for specific file types or folders) — though with the UI being incomplete, some stuff is presently only available via .tm_properties. Ideally even the exceptions should be setable via the GUI, but the flexibility of .tm_properties is hard to express with a GUI (that doesn’t resemble Apple’s property list editor) and .tm_properties will also evolve slightly in the future, which isn’t easy if one has to maintain a parallel GUI.
