My interpretation of Gert's reply was that his question was a frustration rant, not really a customer in rage.

Regarding features I guess everybody have their favorites. I for one would like to see improved text/source code editing capabilities like you mentioned and not so language specific. Improved bundle capabilities also would be nice.

But then again, I use TM is as a text editor that integrates well with other favorite apps of mine and not like an IDE. i.e. i will not ditch transmit even if TM2 comes with ftp built-in.

Improved completions (complete from project, etc), not crashing when editing remote files (e.g. when using MacFusion), project-wide commands (Validate Syntax for project, Transliterate to ASCII for project, etc), split pane editing, more intuitive way to edit bundles & language grammars directly in textmate (using "Edit in TextMate..." is a bit hacky), Javascript & other improvements in the web preview (such as refresh on save and instant CSS preview), improved code formatting/reindent, multiline regex engine, among others.

Split pane editing is at the top of the list for me. It's interesting that you mention reindent too. I keep tweaking the indent rules but they never quite do what I want. I figured I just haven't determined the right recipe yet but never considered that this may be a shortcoming of TM1. Hmm...

Another thing that would be cool would be the ultimate file compare with TextMate-style flexibility in the matching criteria, but then I'd probably be spending all my time tweaking it like with indent, so maybe not....
