This is all just my opinion though. Other's obviously feel differently.
I, too, was a BBEdit power user for a long stinkin time. I was even starting to try and learn their bizarre language definition stuff to make my own language syntaxes when I switched over to TextMate.
The Rails screencast got me interested in TextMate again. But I totally switched because of Projects and Themes. Not having to use the finder is a major advantage. (Sure, BBEdit has some sort of feature for multiple files now, but it still doesn't make any sense to me)
I really miss the Balance Tags command and the way it handles non- word characters and cursor movement / selections. (stops between html tags, etc...) But I'm in the middle of trying to write my own Balance Tags command, so that shouldn't be a problem for long.
I used to write all kinds of crazy scripts with applescript to make BBEdit do all kinds of crazy stuff. But with Ruby and TextMate, I can do a thousand times better with a billionth of the code.
