It's kind of funny to me that my two favorite programs by far (textmate and quicksilver) have a completely unknown development schedule (although quicksilver's is now dead :[ ). oh well! Theyre both kind of like os x - you can't complain very legitimately about their faults because they're just so much better than the alternatives.
Sure you can. Mac OS X users traditionally complain loudly about faults and grievances they find with OS X. You'll rarely find a more critical bunch than aggrieved Mac users. That a piece of software is good does not make it impervious to criticism.
Someone else brought up MacVim, and it's an interesting point. For a long time, I used Textmate exclusively. But now, I only use Textmate around 50% of the time -- the other half taken up by MacVim, when I need split panes, remote editing, or an editor that will not choke on large text files.
