Curiosity or there's something you can't do with TM1?
Improved completions (complete from project, etc), not crashing when editing remote files (e.g. when using MacFusion), project-wide commands (Validate Syntax for project, Transliterate to ASCII for project, etc), split pane editing, more intuitive way to edit bundles & language grammars directly in textmate (using "Edit in TextMate..." is a bit hacky), Javascript & other improvements in the web preview (such as refresh on save and instant CSS preview), improved code formatting/reindent, multiline regex engine, among others.
However those are only things I *know* I want. I'm actually more excited by all the features I don't know I need yet. :) Anything that makes TextMate more TextMate-y (such as more powerful snippets, commands, and grammars) is fine by me.
Thanks Allan and sorry for flooding your list with useless messages...it's just that our curiosity and excitement are constantly peaking and it just takes one errant comment to get us all aflutter. :)

Split pane editing is at the top of the list for me. It's interesting that you mention reindent too. I keep tweaking the indent rules but they never quite do what I want. I figured I just haven't determined the right recipe yet but never considered that this may be a shortcoming of TM1. Hmm...
Another thing that would be cool would be the ultimate file compare with TextMate-style flexibility in the matching criteria, but then I'd probably be spending all my time tweaking it like with indent, so maybe not....

My interpretation of Gert's reply was that his question was a frustration rant, not really a customer in rage.
Regarding features I guess everybody have their favorites. I for one would like to see improved text/source code editing capabilities like you mentioned and not so language specific. Improved bundle capabilities also would be nice.
But then again, I use TM is as a text editor that integrates well with other favorite apps of mine and not like an IDE. i.e. i will not ditch transmit even if TM2 comes with ftp built-in.
