I for one refuse to update to Lion until Textmate adds a leather toolbar and a linen background, and I also want to see torn paper edges and maybe coffee stains. Or better yet, since the trend is to make things look like their physical counterparts, can you make TextMate an attractive brunette, because that's what my editor looks like IRL (she's my wife). Enough of this list chatter on purpose and features - what's important is some consistency in the UX.
Just thought some levity would help.
I agree that that UI consistency goes a long way to having a great product.
Yes, there are much more visually stunning text editors out there that in many cases even do a better job. There are two things alone that are keeping me on TextMate...
The first is variable tab width. The second is column selection.
UltraEdit gets close on Column Selection, but still isn't there. For example, you can't paste a column of data into a new column without effecting surrounding text.
Anyone have any recommendations on another editor that has really good column selection and manipulation?
