I really like TextMate because its is not overly boated with features. For instance, the discussion on adding an SFTP client to it, is baffling -- I don't like TextWrangler because the program is trying to do everything for everybody -- even its preferences are too complicated for most users.
It's definitely a priority for me to keep the GUI of TextMate as simple as possible -- I don't like adding settings/options unless they really do make sense, and I don't like features that may get in the way for people who do not use these features.
I do see some concerned about bloat (outside this ML also), but although I doubt any software author would declare bloat his goal, I definitely have the opposite goal. Finding the features/infrastructure that give optimal end-user flexibility is certainly what I try to pursue with TextMate.
