CMD+T for me brings up the "go to file menu" which is practically useless when it loads in thousands of files in alphabetical order. Not that it couldn't be used, but finding a file in a hierarchy is much faster, for me, to the way I think.
When looking to open a file, I typically think of where it is in the hierarchy rather than just the name. Perhaps I simply need to adjust the way I think, and do things, to make TextMate work for me better in this particular regard.

You can always edit the nib, but having it in the window does IMHO require different icons (i.e. some bar below the list a la Mail).
I'm changing things slightly for 1.2, so I'm not adding any visual preferences before the stuff is set in stone -- also, in 1.2 I plan to let the difference between projects and single file only be the presence of the (to be more like a file-system browser) drawer. The drawer works much better for “toggling” such things.
And with cmd-T, tabs, and possibly some enhancements wrt both of these, the drawer should very rarely be required to be called upon -- the thing Jack mentioned about having to resize the window after sliding away the drawer, that's something which could just be improved.
