Because TextMate isn't that great. It being a good (arguably the best) OS
X programmers editor doesn't mean it's great. SlickEdit, if it was native
Cocoa instead of X, would be much, much better.
So those of use waiting for a version 2 hope that the many issues, both
visual and functional, with finally be fixed. Then maybe it'll be a great
editor.
