Hi
First of all, TextMate is great work. I only had to try it out for a few seconds and it was instantly obvious to me that TextMate just _feels_ great to use. It's powerful yet doesn't feel clunky or bloated, unlike some other editors which shall not be named.
The only thing missing for me to be able to use it in my day-to-day work is the possibility to have projects synchronize with an ftp-server. I'm a web developer, and most of the time I work against a remote ftp-server (not always, but quite often).
The only editor I've found that does this in a simple fashion is Dreamweaver MX, which, while not terrible as a code editor, it isn't exactly optimal either.
I hope ftp-support is added soon, not just being able to edit a remote file, but actually being able to associate a project with an ftp account. Because, then I'd have no reason to use Dreamweaver MX again, instead of using it all the damn time.

SFTP support is planned for version 1.1. And unlike most editors that merely integrate with Transmit or other existing programs, the plan is to have support from within TextMate.
There's no immediate plans to support the regular, unsecure version of FTP. But it all depends on what the community around TextMate is most interested in. -- David Heinemeier Hansson, http://www.rubyonrails.org/ -- Web-application framework for Ruby http://www.instiki.org/ -- A No-Step-Three Wiki in Ruby http://macromates.com/ -- TextMate: Code and markup editor for OS X http://www.basecamphq.com/ -- Web-based Project Management http://www.loudthinking.com/ -- Broadcasting Brain http://www.nextangle.com/ -- Development & Consulting Services
Me too. Some of my web hosts don't support SFTP -- but I also don't mind using Transmit either.

I would like regular FTP support.
Oh, and Java syntax highlighting :)

I think that above SFTP, FTP is a necessity. Unless you use TextDrive for EVERYTHING, which some of us just can't (clients don't all have a super webhost), we need support for both.
Likewise, a built in FTP client is cool, but I want this editor to work just as well with Transmit and YummyFTP and Interarchy as BBEdit did. In fact, if it doesn't, I'm back to working with BBEdit, even though as it stands I still have to (for editing files ON the server).
A bunch of small programs working well together is better than one app that does it all.

I'd like to voice my desire to have better apple event/applescript in textmate.
Essentially the external editor api is a set of apple event classes -- and besides being able to play nice with ftp clients you'll also get the ability to use Textmate as an external editor for all sorts of apps like Dreamweaver and Xcode.
At minimum I'd like to be able to get and set the text from any open document, and get the cursor location/selection from the frontmost document.
It's more about allowing TextMate to play well with others. Having a decent applescript dictionary makes TextMate useful in so many more situations then you can think of.
