Yikes!!!! Please, Allan, keep these people away from your excellent 
editor!  I beg anyone who thinks any non-editor feature is a 
"must-have" in a text editor to please use another text editor. there 
are plenty out there with that philisophy.  TextMate is GREAT because 
it does not cater to other editors workflows.  It does not try to be 
other editors.  It tries to get the job done in the best and smartest 
was possible.  I'm looking for an editor that includes features because 
they belong, and includes extensibility so that I can create the 
functionality I need, not because it's trying to cater to every man, or 
become some "market leader" that doesn't turn anyone off.  The minute 
that TextMate includes an editor because it's "another man's" must-have 
feature, or because every other editor has it, it becomes 
indistinguishable from...every other editor.
