I use it pretty extensively when searching for the use of specific variables in a huge Java codebase. Even though I rarely make edits to the code base (I'm mostly responsible for the graphic skins), I haven't found any tool better than TextMate's ability to dynamically create projects by opening file folders (and so to specify scope specifically for one search) and then quickly pinpoint lines of code using Find in Project.
Is there a better tool for that?
grep and find are pretty good in conjunction for that sort of thing:
grep -l <search term> `find <starting directory> -name *.java`
