One of the great things of TextMate is the neat integration of all  
those unix commands. OSX comes shipped with perl, python, ruby, php -  
you name it. Plus of course all those little utilities that make Unix  
more than just a kernel - grep, awk, wc… and far more. With TextMate  
you can use them, combine then and do a lot of stuff that simply  
can't be done in other editors.
If something does not work the way you expect it - here is the right  
place to ask (or in the IRC channel).
But it should pretty much work out-of-the box (except if you broke it  
in some way).

A default set of bundles is included in every TextMate release. For  
special things or bundles under development, there is the svn  
archive. This is bleeding edge, under development or special  
interest. You don't HAVE to use it, to work with TextMate. The next  
release will always (mostly) update the standard set of bundles.

In fact, there are people using TextMate who never even opened the  
Bundle Editor and still find it a great Editor.
