It should be a preference feature then. One that the user can choose the behavior of.
I also only have use for the drawer on the left. In fact I hope that 2.0 will no longer use a drawer and uses something like that found in Mail.app

It opens up on whichever side has more room. If you drag your window all the way to the right and open the drawer, it'll open on the left.
The steps you describe are the steps I unfortunately have to do half of the times I open a project in Textmate which is a tedious task just to make sure the drawer is on the left. It would be nice if Textmate always made sure that the window was far enough to the right so the drawer would automatically open on the left.

I find this to be a feature, rather than a bug. I like to keep two (or more) projects open at once, and have one with a drawer to the right, and another with drawer to the left. This guarantees that the corner of the other project window will always be showing, which sometimes is useful for toggling between windows (it would be nice to be able to use command-`), and as a visual reminder of what I'm working on. So at most I think we might ask for a pref to control which sides the drawer can appear on. Personally, I'll be a lot more excited when there's a pref to turn off the automatic rescanning of files in a project (especially when they're on a network vol), as the lag when switching between Textmate and other apps is very annoying.
