People create many more files than folders in TextMate, so that action 
gets the secondary “new” key.

Finder has no ability to create files, it uses ⌃⌘N for “New Folder 
with Selection”, so in Finder, both ⇧⌘N and ⌃⌘N are about 
creating folders.

There is certainly an argument for consistency accross applications, and 
I don’t mind changing them.
