Happy TextMate user here, but wanted to add my $0.02 since this issue is important to me.  I make heavy use of transparent windows in order to read what's behind the window, and really miss this in TextMate under Mojave.  I never understood what the point was of Windows aero's blurry windows.

Unfortunately I have neither the skill nor the bandwidth to work on this issue, though if someone does I'd be glad to test a build.
