Four years ago, TextMate was innovative, flashy (as text editors get), and ahead of its time. Today, some of those things still hold true, however, Allan's inability to ship TextMate 2 is really irritating. What happened to the pragmatic programmer?
TextMate is lacking in some very basic areas: Find/Replace in Project, and Undo to name a few things. I've lived with and loved TextMate for years hoping that the next update will fix these issues... Instead, Allan (Odgaard, TextMate's author) has chosen to rewrite TextMate 2 from scratch! Talk about irresponsible. TextMate is the ultimate insult to the consumer. It completely disregards basic needs in favour of a silly pursuit of "perfection".
TextMate 2.0 better be free upgrade, because I, for one, am not willing to pay a cent for it.
