Oh, I so wish you would do that, James; is now "any time"? ;)
Seriously tho, lately I've been using grep to do multifile searches since it's too much effort within TextMate, and it's not worth firing up BBEdit for. I usually have one or two files open rather than a project, and usually my multi-file searches are within a folder associated with another project completely. I only need to do this a couple times a week so it's not too annoying, but it would be nice if I could search a given directory like BBEdit.
Things keeping me from loving TextMate even more than I already do: - better multifile searches - side-by-side diff (love BBEdit!) - better handling of very large files - split views - chunked undo
And to be fair, just a few of the things I love about TextMate: - editing is fun - amazing syntax hilighting for all the languages I work with and many more as well - snippets - it's really smart - incredible support (see thanks below) - bundles beyond count - creating my own snippets, commands and macros EASILY! - it's constantly being updated (program and snippets both) - the screencasts
Many thanks to Allan and the many people creating and maintaining bundles, you really have created the best text editor out there (IMHO).

Let me get this book published and I'll have more time to play with stuff like this...

This reminds me. I was surprised to find that the Diff bundle does not support using Xcode's opendiff. Is this just an oversight (either in the bundle or by me), or does no one care for opendiff?
In general it seems like it would be useful to be able to generically configure all the bundles to use opendiff where it makes sense to use it as a replacement for /usr/bin/diff. This would be settable via something like TM_USEOPENDIFF or some such. I know there's certainly times when I'd prefer to have the Subversion bundle diff for me using opendiff.
Thoughts?

The Merge Selected Files… uses opendiff. As for oversight/not caring: personally I am not too fond of opendiff -- I only have a dozen or so lines that are different, opening the full document and having to locate the differences in there, tends to be tedious.

For the subversion bundle, you can set TM_SVN_DIFF_CMD to the diff command you want to use.
Though for opendiff I believe you need a wrapper script, due to argument incompatibilities.
