I guess it boils down to a matter of taste. I don't deny that all of this would be helpful for some or even most people, but personally, I wouldn't use e.g. a filesystem that let's me get at my data only 90% percent of the time. Sometimes, and for some people, it's those 10% that count.
Yeah but those people can then not use the system. No reason that all the other people can't :-p. I like the "merging" idea, as it was called. Quite similar to the way patch resolves discrepancies.
Additionally, you and I know why that system wouldn't work in some small percentage of cases. But what about those who don't know or care about the implementation?
It's a simple matter of adding to the help file that bookmarks can not be expected to be preserved 100% if the file is modified outside of TextMate. This is nothing new... computers aren't magic.
I could be wrong, but I assume that TM is mainly used by power users
..which is exactly why the above won't be a problem, IMO.
