I could not find a introduction which would enable me to read and understand what TM-help-pages want to tell me.
Of course Allan will have his own plans, objectives, etc., but I wish he would maybe stop development on TM (maybe, after 1.1 or something) and dedicate some considerable time to some good documentation; in particular introductory material. For example, I would love to have access to some video-based tutorials that, by way of example, give me a better overview of how "macros", "snippets", "commands", "bundles", etc. all fit together into the concept that is TextMate. (And these kinds of things are pretty easy to produce these days.)
Some time ago, I saw a 15-minute video produced by Jon Rentzsch introducing WebObjects by way of building a very simple address book application. That one single video not only demonstrated the mechanics of WebObjects, but also its "way" of building applications.
I think something similar for TextMate would be tremendously useful for people like myself, who are probably only using about 5% of the application's capabilities. (And I'm sure it would sell more licenses! :-)
