The main one is just that it is a bit slow - I have to wait almost five seconds before it actually starts to typeset, which may not seem very long but when I am 'debugging' it is a little frustrating. Using a terminal window the typesetting starts instantly.
Commit 39b09967 [1] should improve the startup time of `texmate` significantly.

I get an overhead of less than 0.3s if I use `texmate` on a minimal file. The translation of the minimal file inside Terminal using the command `time pdflatex tmp.tex` takes 0.55s. The following command — basically simulating a run of “Typeset & View (PDF)” — inside TextMate takes about 0.79s:
—
#!/usr/bin/env bash
BUNDLE_DIR="$HOME/Library/Application Support/Avian/Bundles/LaTeX.tmbundle"
TM_BUNDLE_DIR="$HOME/Library/Application Support/TextMate/Managed/Bundles"
export TM_FILEPATH="tmp.tex"
export TM_SUPPORT_PATH="$TM_BUNDLE_DIR/Bundle Support.tmbundle/Support/shared"
export TM_BUNDLE_SUPPORT="$BUNDLE_DIR/Support"
export PATH="$BUNDLE_DIR/Support/bin":$PATH
export TM_SELECTION='1:1'
texmate.py -suppressview latex -latexmk no -engine pdflatex

tmp.tex:

\documentclass{article}
\begin{document}
Bla
\end{document}

Could you maybe test the above example and send in your results. If it takes multiples seconds before `texmate` starts typesetting, then maybe your local copy of the bundle does not contain the changes done in commit 5074427f [2]?

You can change the typesetting engine used by “Typeset & View (PDF)” with the following commands:
defaults write com.macromates.textmate.preview latexEngine xelatex
defaults write com.macromates.textmate.preview latexEngine pdflatex

Hopefully the latest changes help.
