I'm not sure if I'm using it right, but the quote auto completion seems to slow me down, as most of the time you need to add something after a quote, but I'm required to use the right arrow key to move over a character to go past the quote, which is a rather long distance compared to the quote key.
Is there some trick I don't know about?

Actually, you can just type another quote... after an auto-insertion, TextMate will let you use another quote to go on, overwriting (or skipping, the result is the same) the one automatically inserted. So in short you can type like it didn't complete.

This doesn't work for all situations, though. For example, I'm typing in a comment or perhaps a string literal and I enter a word like "don't" or any other contraction ... it closes that quote, causing extra steps to get rid of that extra quote. With things like [](){} etc, this isn't really a problem, but with the quotes it is.
I think that the quotes could either be made smarter, eg don't insert unless the preceeding/following character is maybe whitespace or [](), and such. Regex configurable would be cool. Or the ability to just turn it off, at least for quotes, barring making it smarter.
I have more goods/bads that I'll assemble after a long day of coding in TextMate, but in the end it's pretty sexy.

Yeah, I must admit that I myself have had that problem...

I agree

I had the same thing, but then with the () signs. Just press the " when you're done, like typing normally :) Put it in the tip of the day if it's not there already! :P
