Personally, I really don't like multi-window interfaces. Please don't clutter up textmate's beautiful one-window design with little floating palettes! ;-)
I agree. And I'm pretty sure the one-window approach is one of the reasons TM feels slick and fast.

I could add some gravitational pull and make it blink and howl as the mouse gets pulled in ;)
Seriously though, placing it in the top (as a tool bar item) with the function pop-up is something I am likely going to do (partly due to how the menus misbehave when the status bar is near the bottom of the visible screen rectangle).
I am aware of the panel (and drawer) ideas for bundle items (brought up in this thread), though it does not address the main issue here (that users may not find the action menu in the first place).
As to adding utility windows, that may come, but currently I'm not too happy with the ideas I have for setting up that stuff, though honestly I just haven't spent much time considering possible ways, as I don't think it's the most pressing issue ATM, and I have some more long-term plans of changing bundle “editing”, activation of items, etc., and I plan to give the issue more thoughts at that time.
