My interpretation of Gert's reply was that his question was a frustration rant, not really a customer in rage.

Regarding features I guess everybody have their favorites. I for one would like to see improved text/source code editing capabilities like you mentioned and not so language specific. Improved bundle capabilities also would be nice.

But then again, I use TM is as a text editor that integrates well with other favorite apps of mine and not like an IDE. i.e. i will not ditch transmit even if TM2 comes with ftp built-in.
