I'm clearly doing something wrong here but--how on earth do I turn tabs on?! Every time I open a new file (cmd-O) it opens in a new window! I've looked through all the menu items, searched the wiki, help *and* the mailing list and but I'm still tab-less. (I'm embarrassed to say I can't figure out how to activate the "dynamic file outline" working either--so I'm actually not able to use features number 1 and 2 on the homepage...)

Don't be ashamed, it took me ages too :) To get the tabs you have to first create a project (cmd-ctrl-n), then add files to its tray (cmd-shift-a), and then when you click on those files you get tabs. Alternatively you can drop multiple files on the app and it'll create a scratch project.
So it's quite a few more hoops to jump through than your usual editor with tabs, but imho it's better than all the completely tab-free ones and I hear that it'll be getting better.
That's one of the things that's holding me back from using TM full time at the moment; I really need to have a tabbed interface, without defining a project first.
Hopefully soon! :)
TM is looking great though!

Not that “fixing” this isn't high on my to-do. But “defining a project” equals pressing ctrl-cmd-n or dragging a directory with your files to the TextMate icon (or just the files you wish to work with) -- is that really holding you back from using TM?

For me, yes. I'm sort of using it but still looking for alternatives at this point. The project thing requires to have the drawer open to get to the files, and apart from drawers being possibly the ugliest thing in Aqua it wastes a lot of screen real estate :)
