[...] Is there a reason why TM has selection implemented like this?

If you drag text and hold option, it will instead copy (rather than move), here you need to hold down option to keep it at that state -- TextMate follows that behavior.

I view column selection as similar “state modifier.”

Is there any chance it to be modified to match other editors rather than finder? I really really can't get used to it - when selecting text I have habit of releasing key and mouse at the same time, so outcome of columnar selection is random for me.

I'm not asking to change defaults - I'd be happy if I could just change hidden plist setting or any other hack.
