[TxMt] Is this for real?

[Lists In@IDC]

It'd be best, if they could work it out, to have a single company  
producing TextMate for all platforms.

Combine code wherever possible, have a single source for bundles, and  
have a unified marketing effort.

Problem is, the people coding these things aren't usually the  
strongest businessmen.  Not a dig, just a fact based on my 30 years  
in the business.

A unified marketing approach could make this combined company fly to  
heights reached, in the not too distant past, by Underware (Brief),  
CodeWright, et al. before each got bought and squandered by much  
larger companies (Borland, mostly).
