Hear hear!
When I first switched to OS X I wast frustrated about the lack of a  
good editor, and almost considered going to linux instead for  
Quanta ... but now I'm perfectly happy with TextMate. Yes, to truly  
wield it's power you have to know regexp, which I still don't  
(although I've gotten plenty of help right here on the list), but you  
can always cut and paste a bit in the bundles. The bundles are the  
key, and shouldn't be THAT hard to interpret.

blast, now I'll have to check that out as well. Problem with trying  
to make your life as easy as possible is that it's a lot of hard work :(
