Also, would you please answer my second question from the original email which was to refer me to resources that are simple to learn as I am just learning how to code and I don't understand most of the emails people are talking about, including your blogs.

These are good resources to learn programming for a beginner.  However this really isn't the place for that, it is a support list for a text editor.

I'm sure Allan is busy having just launched a product that took years to develop, especially considering it is a week from Christmas.  There seems to be a lot of people saying "I need this feature now, otherwise TextMate 2 is unusable."  Maybe he should have just kept it for another year to satisfy everyone's desires?  

Anyway if you are having an issue (especially .tm_properties problems, performance/slow rendering problems, bundle problems, and folder problems), before posting here I recommend backing up all your custom bundles/settings/themes, deleting both TM and Avian and all related support docs (App Support/plists), and install a fresh copy of Avain, then selectively put back the stuff you actually use.  I had several of the issues intermittently and that fixed several of them.
