Be sure you understand how the "go to file menu" works. Typing a few letters of a file name (and those letters do not have to be consecutive) will get you to your file. Say you have 'MyImportantFile.txt" somewhere deep in your project. Cmd-T, MIF, Enter and you got the file!
Not sure how many web developers are here, but I've never been able to grasp the Cmd-T feature, as most of my files are actually called index.php with the actual preceding directory dictating the location. ie. /service/index.php /service/contact/index.php which both translate simply in a site to /service/ and /service/contact/ for simplicity.
When I know the name of a file, the "go to file menu" due to it's smart find feature is a lot faster than navigating through the drawer. But sometimes I don't remember the name of a file, but know it's location. In that case the drawer is the way to go.
Same here for 95% of my work - as the drawer is the only way to locate files in my sites. But I still find myself using skEdit though I really want to use TextMate more and more.
skEdit to me has a nicer 'feel' to it, but TextMate has more and more compelling features...
