Amen! I can't believe the number of people who find it objectionable 
that they should have to buy an (s)ftp client, of which there are 
several that are very good available (I prefer the latest Transmit). I 
hope that you keep the (s)ftp feature set sharply limited to the basics 
and focus on the text editing portions of TextMate.
