OK, I see what you mean. Though I don’t really agree that this is a 
required feature, sorry ;)

For a web browser, you can’t really close tabs to “cleanup” when 
your bar overflows, so it makes a little sense to allow users to 
organize tabs even when the number of tabs are in the double digits. But 
for TextMate, there is really no harm in pruning the tab bar to clean it 
up.

I would highly encourage you to look at the Go → Go to File… (⌘T) 
action. This makes it very quick to jump to other files, and the main 
reason for the tab bar is to allow ⌘1-n as accelerator keys for the 
first n tabs (where n is probably no higher than 5).
