[TxMt] textmate for linux?

I am not an expert on Cocoa porting, but here is some more detail:

TM is written in Cocoa, and Cocoa is an OpenStep framework, which 
happens to have a "sister" framework on linux: GNUStep. Unfortunately, 
the two frameworks are becoming rather different, while the core 
classes are very much the same and follow the same spec, apple has 
extended the OpenStep framework to its own needs (and to the needs of 
the developers).

Apart from that Apple introduced Bindings in Panther, which, AFAIK are 
unavailable in GNUStep. Also, the new NextStep Interface Builder files 
are probably completely incompatible with the GNUStep format with the 
introduction of Xcode (if you save in 10.2 NIB format).

A port from Cocoa to GNUStep will be very tough. The reverse is 
possible and much more easy.

And just to top it off, GNUStep is still very much in development, but 
they are making progress (a rather dedicated dev group, in my opinion).

Just my 3c.
