Personally, I almost never fold, I haven't found it particularly useful. What do you guys use folding for? If I want to see an outline of the section structure and/or move around, I would use the symbol list. But I am probably missing some other extremely important use of folding.
A recent example of mine: I worked on a document consisting of a tutorial chapter followed by a list of exercises. With folding, I can see the exercise I work on on the same screen as the paragraph in the tutorial chapter that deals with the same subject. Of course there are other ways to do that (in Emacs I'd use a split window), but I didn't find any in TextMate yet.
Ok in that case what you are really missing is a split window view, which was for a while and perhaps still is the number one request.
A slight workaround is to open the file as part of a project, then right click on the file in the drawer and select "Open in New Window". Not quite a split view, but would help a fair bit I think.
