Yes! TextMate is *not* a word processor, it is a text processor! Everything you do with TextMate results in a file with plain text, where no fonts are defined, no italics, no underline, no folding, just the text. The way things look is simply a result of the workings of TextMate. The result of this is also that you can grab any editor and work on the same file: use TextMate, TextPad, vi(m), emacs, SubEthaEdit, BBEdit, etc.
Sure, the output is plain text. I'm there. But TextMate doesn't exist in a vacuum. We all use word processors. Take vim (I'm not a BBEdit user which may be adding to my confusion here), if I fold some text in vim, say ':.,.+5 fo' to fold the next 5 lines under the cursor. Undo ('u') undoes the fold. Its what I've been trained to expect.
