Well done guys. I came, I saw, I bought.
TextMate has delivered most of what was promised by the hype that preceded the long-anticipated launch. I now look forward to its ongoing development.
First impressions have been very impressive.

I'm on the verge of buying. I'm a java developer and I'm in my editor (Emacs on OS X, currently) most of the day. Making the jump will be a huge deal for me...

Ditto. As stated by the primary developers already, however, the language support is a little thin, at the moment. I'll probably take a whack at Java, Java Properties, and XML syntaxes today (in order of easiness...). Has anyone started work on this already?
Is there a command in TM to reload a bundle? Relaunching TM everytime I tweak a regexp could be a little painful.
Does (or will) TM support smart tabs, backspace, and braces a la Emacs? That, quite frankly, will be a deal-breaker for me, if it doesn't. I live and die by those mode customizations...
I'm really excited by what I'm seeing here!

Highly requested, but unfortunately not yet :\
However, when you test regexps, use the regex find from within TextMate to validate that the patterns match correctly. This should make it much easier.
Just remember to double escape all escapes before placing them in the property list.

TextMate supports normal auto-indent, and you can have the indent increased by specifying a regular expression in the language syntax file which should match all lines that cause an extra indent for the next line.
But currently it's probably not as clever about indentation as emacs.
Kind regards Allan
