I would be interested to know if there is a financial constraint to the development. I would be more than happy to pay for my copy ahead of time to put some money into a front-end development pot for Allan. Marillion did a similar thing by asking fans to pay for a new album to help cover the costs of recording and production which they couldn't cover up front. I'd hate to think that development time was proving hard to come by because a promise has been made for a free upgrade that is proving hard to deliver.
However, I imagine there is only a very small core of users contributing here who would be as willing to do this. Managing the roll-out of a paid upgrade after promising a free one could be, in the words of Peep Show's Mark Corrigan, 'an administrative shit-storm'.

It's more that the question gets asked every week, and every week the answer is the same :)
Basic features like split panes windows and a decent undo system are missing. Because those features are so basic it means their absence is felt nearly every time I use TextMate.
Of course, everyone has a different idea of which features are “basic”. ;)
