Looks like things are calming down a little so I thought I'd chime in with my TM experiences. I used it all day today for hacking on a Rails app and here are my thoughts. I've avoided putting in nits that I've seen addressed already, though it's possible I've missed seeing some, please forgive me if there are duplicates :) My editing background is that I'm a hardcore vim user and I quite dislike using the mouse while editing.
Issues * Renaming a group is kind of a pain, can it default to being ready to edit when you click to make a new group?
* A language nitpick, the message on the group info window ... "What did you expect to find here? ..." I dunno, seems a little unfriendly?
* There seem to be some pretty annoying issues with the whole tree in the drawer collapsing without my telling it to do so. For example, have a group with folders in it, do the info on that folder to change the regex, then when the changes get applied *poof* the tree collapses. It has also collapsed at random times when I've switched back to the desktop TM was on, though I cannot consistently reproduce this, it just happens whenever.
* Any way to undo more than one character at a time? This is arduous, though it may be difficult to implement without modes (ala vim).
* Dragging things around in the tree seems to be more painful than it should. I'm not sure why, but I was trying to drag a folder such that it would be below (but not nested in) another folder and I couldn't get it to go. I became frustrated and deleted the reference and re-added the folder. Anybody else experience this, or is it just me?
Feature Requests * Completions drawn from all open files, please?
* Auto un-dent things like (in Ruby) else, end, closing braces, etc?
The major issue for me is the collapsing of the tree that is going on. Other than that this thing is pretty sexy. I enjoy the organization it provides me and I look forward to the next release after this flood of feedback you have recieved from the users. I'm confident that it will be quite nice.
Thanks -Scott

Yeah, I ran into this, too. You do get the little indicator (O----) showing you where the folder will end up when you drop it, but for some reason it didn't look right to me.

If you hold down option (alt) when you click an item in the project drawer, it will activate edit-in-place (i.e. rename). Also, if you press space, when the outline has focus/key, it will also activate edit-in-place.
