It's actually possible to use TM as your bash editor with a little 
fiddling... Set the EDITOR variable to the location of the following 
script, make it executable, and there you are. Works for me, in any

tempfile="$1"
tempfileBN=`basename "$tempfile"`

# add 'sh' as extension of temp file generated by bash so TM knows it's 
a

mv "$tempfile" "$tempfile.sh"

open -a TextMate "$tempfile.sh" # open the temp file containining the 
command

# set name of TM window and get its id:
osascript -e 'tell app "TextMate.app" to set name of front window to 
"'"$TMwindowname"'"'
TMwindowid=`osascript -e 'tell app "TextMate.app" to return id of front 
window'`

# wait until done editing the temp file:
while [[ `osascript -e 'tell app "TextMate.app" to return name of every 
window whose id is '"$TMwindowid"` != "" ]]; do
         sleep 0 # set this to something else if there's some need to
done

# remove added 'sh' extension from tempfile:
mv "$tempfile.sh" "$tempfile"
