Split pane editing is at the top of the list for me. It's interesting that you mention reindent too. I keep tweaking the indent rules but they never quite do what I want. I figured I just haven't determined the right recipe yet but never considered that this may be a shortcoming of TM1. Hmm...

Another thing that would be cool would be the ultimate file compare with TextMate-style flexibility in the matching criteria, but then I'd probably be spending all my time tweaking it like with indent, so maybe not....
