Howdy. Since TextMate seems to be like 80% LaTeX users. I feel a burning need to use latex. Can one of you LaTeX gurus condescend to learn me what's up? Maybe a few links to how to get started with latex and latex in textmate specifically.
Do you have to be a nerd to be able to use it?
As Brad mentioned, lshort is really useful. I read that and produced my first LaTeX document in an afternoon.
For TM's LaTeX bundle, be sure to watch Haris' screencasts available on his blog:

There's a bit of an initial learning curve, but think about it, would you rather write your documents in TextMate or Word (shudder)? ;)
Good luck and happy TeXing!
Best, Mark
