TextMate is a good value. It's a small, fast editor and it makes me feel productive. Can't wait to see what's under the hood in 2.0.
I was just thinking about what I like in editors, and I still use Emacs and Eclipse depending on the project. I am switching to TextMate for a lot of other stuff.
I probably would be using SlickEdit right now- it's a favorite! Except it's expensive and it runs in X11 on Mac; it's not a native Mac UI. Feature I really like from SlickEdit are: * symbol/tagging system. I forget what they call it, but it can generate symbol lists to use for auto-complete and context help, for various different languages. * keybinding emulation modes; e.g it has Emacs and a handful of others.
But anyways I encourage Allan to make 2.0 the most awesome editor he can, and not spend too much time on everything and the kitchen sink - feature requests. Like the above, right ;-) Otherwise you end up with a Christmas Tree, not a lean & mean text editor.
Cheers
I only miss a split screen feature in TM. Developing in any other text editor has become so painful since TM appeared.
Yeap, I agree, split screen could be very helpful when you edit large source files. One feature that I like in the (not yet released) editor Espresso is their way of handling the "Workspace". For example if you have a large project and your just gonna edit a few of the files you double click them and they appear at the top of the project in the "Workspace".

Dear Alex,
About tagging, have you tried using the CTags bundle? It is very handy to navigate source code, for many languages.
By the way, I am preparing a bundle to navigate (I hope to get something faster than the current CTags bundle), auto-complete and get info using ctags symbols. I need that for the C and C++ auto- completion. I still need to do a little bit of packaging work before this is ready to be used. And I am still wandering whether I should use Dialog or Dialog2: the auto-completion pop-up menu of D2 is so great!
Best regards, Mathieu
