QuickCursor has two other drawbacks when compared to the "hackish" Edit in Textmate:

1. You can't leave your TextMate window open and still save to the original application via QuickCursor; in fact AFAICT you have to close the TextMate window to save at all. That prevents you from keeping a text copy of your (say) Web form or email message--so you lose everything if your application's connection or login times out.

2. QuickCursor seems to lose all formatting from the original context. This is a real bummer when replying to email messages with multiple quote levels. For example, the text beginning my message turns from a threaded reply to the following unintelligible block:
