[TxMt] Re: TextMate 1 vs 2

[bmf]

Basically Allan has stated that he will not add similar functionality 
himself (it has been discussed thoroughly :)).  .tm_properties files 
really do not come close to emulating the project functionality of TM1, 
but they do offer tons of additional functionality so it's somewhat of a 
trade-off.

TM2 is now open-source so you could attempt to add some of that 
functionality back in, or simply switch to something with the features 
you need.  Turns out there has been an explosion of pretty decent IDEs / 
text editors recently.
