I'm developing a number of concurrent projects, some of which have hundreds
of source files.
You can see how this would easily become unmanageable if I tried to keep
every file open.
"TextMate will automatically close tabs that hasn’t been used in a while, when the tab bar overflows".

So keeping every file open is impossible anyways.

Why would you _ever_ do that? Now that we have tabs and the wonderful single- window display, I just leave everything open. Or you could minimize instead of closing.
Well, the beauty of great software is that it doesn't force everyone to use
it the same way :)
Minimising wouldn't really work, I'm not trying to hide or move TM out the
way.

If it works for you though, great :-)
