Is Textmate the current record holder now when Duke Nuk'em Forever finally have been released?
I just Googled for vaporware to find the (probably) huge number of programs that have been promised *way* before TM2 (which AIUI hasn't even been promised) and which still haven't arrived, and I notice that TM2 has been added to the Wikipedia page. Was that you?
No, it wasn't me. The Wikipedia text was added in October 2010 by anonymous. Of course I wasn't really serious when I wrote the above. But as you may know, Textmate has already been mentioned along with other famous vaporware in this Wired article: http://www.wired.com/epicenter/2009/12/vaporware-2009-inhale-the-fail/
I can appreciate that people find Textmate 1 "good enough", and I did so myself for a long time. I have however switched to Vim now. I will no doubt have another look at Textmate when version 2 eventually releases, but for now I am happy with Vim.
Vim was my previous editor of choice, but even after about twelve years of use I still find/found myself reaching for documentation to perform many of the tasks I used it for. TextMate, I found, had almost no learning curve.
BTW, does Vim do completion?
