In the midst of all the "this is why I don't switch", and "I switched and love it" stories, I thought - as a brief interruption of the real work on this list - I'd share my 5 lines. I am registered user #81. I bought TextMate literally six hours after BBEdit, and haven't unpacked BB since. In fact, if you take a look at the Codingmonkeys website, you'll find my name there, as well, mentioned in one or two places. Nonetheless, it's TextMate I stuck with. Since that day I purchased it, I know what I did with it -
- wrote close to 120,000 lines of code (wc -l over my local repository) - taught myself two new programming languages - wrote two books - a PhD thesis - edited another book - and co-wrote an article for a Sociological magazine based on the PhD thesis that got me a rather prestigious award. - wrote close to 5,000 weblog and wiki pages and entries - wrote all my email - wrangled a 41,000 line dataset for the thesis using Ruby and a specialized bundle - coded Flexbar (an addon for World of Warcraft, just about THE addon) - and proposed marriage (don't ask)
there you have it. Not sure many Mac editors can claim they've been used that versatilely.

Woah, carp! Think about that.
11032 * €€€ == Beware the evil gold digging nerd-loving chicks.
I'm so glad that he has such a compelling reason to continue develpment. ;) Wow, that really makes up for all the time he spent developing it before it was for sale.

I'm somewhere in the #13,000s (finally paid up in late July). Well worth the money. Should be rewarded for such a good product.

Well, I'm going to actually comment on this post. What a concept! This is great and I think we should collect these stories somewhere, maybe on a wiki. Is there already a "What I've Done with TextMate" page somewhere? Sounds like a fun RoR project...
