I would like to see a couple of preferences show up in the Tiger version.
- Abide RW permissions on files - Open files by default Read-Only
The first one is so if a file is read only (like under revision control) this is preserved. The second one so if managers like to review code they don't mess up developers code.

I use it pretty extensively when searching for the use of specific variables in a huge Java codebase. Even though I rarely make edits to the code base (I'm mostly responsible for the graphic skins), I haven't found any tool better than TextMate's ability to dynamically create projects by opening file folders (and so to specify scope specifically for one search) and then quickly pinpoint lines of code using Find in Project.
Is there a better tool for that?
grep and find are pretty good in conjunction for that sort of thing:
grep -l <search term> `find <starting directory> -name *.java`
Thanks, Mat. That's definitely another way to do it... but I don't think it's better. Since textmate jumps me to the line while showing me the whole docco, I have a lot more freedom to explore the context. I can even execute finds in the docco I'm looking at, while preserving the results of the find in the project. Plus, I get highlighting and folding (as mentioned by Andy). Grep (and doxygen) are definitely powerful for what they do, but what they do is filter out matches. I don't necessarily want the filter, I just want the find.
I personally don't have any problems with not making edits, but I wanted to back up the original poster that Textmate is a great browse- only tool.
