There is a good discussion on the post I linked to about this. Lots of people are saying that this is a really good thing for the TextMate community. However, I'm not so sure.

I guess I've seen good intentions blow up in faces too many times to be excited about this. I can only hope that everything works out well for everyone, but I'm skeptical.
So what if he does, though? There would need to be a compelling reason for most people to move from TM to the new thing, and if there's a compelling reason, then he's doing something right and maybe it makes sense to move.
Competition is not a bad thing.
