NCIANCA  I sure hope "Avian" makes an appearance soon, which is supposed to be free to registered users. Alan, I'm sure that most TM2 prospective users would be filling to pay a reasonable upgrade fee if that gets it into our hands faster.

Software doesn't age well like a good wine, but rather becomes vinegar when the underlying APIs of its foundation evolve, thus broadening the time curve gap.

And I really hope that my next comment on TM will be singing the TM2 praises.

TRASHIE  Does not do that for me or anyone I know using it....

MISHA  Mac OS X 10.6 users:

TextMateÂ’s command-left/right arrow key functionality (one of the most commonly used keystrokes) is broken in Mac OS X 10.6 (Snow Leopard).

FortunatelyÂ’ thereÂ’s a fix. Edit (or create) the file named ~/Library/KeyBindings/DefaultKeyBinding.dict and add the following lines to the end:

"@\UF702" = "moveToBeginningOfLine:";

"@\UF703" = "moveToEndOfLine:";

"$@\UF702" = "moveToBeginningOfLineAndModifySelection:";

"$@\UF703" = "moveToEndOfLineAndModifySelection:";

Quit and re-launch TextMate, and your precious key-combo should be working again.

DAN BRIGGS  I've tried a lot of text editors in my 25 years developer life but this one is simply the best one. It's almost perfect and even better than TextPad on Windows. Add the Project+ plugin and your developer environment is rock solid. I use every day 400+ php/html/css files with MAMP in every project and I need speed. TextMate is always fast and responsive, very simple to use for beginners and still very very complete for geeks. I bought Coda and Espresso too but they are far from TextMate in many cases. With TextMate I can work as twice as fast on my php/html/css code. It's true that the others are better on presenting html and css but when you know these languages a little, everything is done by copying ans pasting part of code to new places. Add Safari and Transmit for your ftp and you got the best and fastest development environment someone can have. Long life to TextMate and thank you to all community for this piece of Art. AL-Paris.

GRFX GURU  Excellent program, and honestly I'm surprised (but happy) to see a minor update after all this time.

I thought for sure after all the talk about the new version waiting for Leopard to be released and then nothing indicated the developers had either stopped or no longer cared to update TextMate.

NCIANCA  I like TextMate as a general text editor and registered my copy when it was still in pre-release way back in the day. Coda, with its workflow, superb UI, project tools, auto-completion, editors and other tools has become my tool for web sites, I still use TextMate for all my other text needs, such as shell programming and general text manipulation.

However, I'm disappointed that its been a year now since the last release. I understand that the next version will be a complete rewrite, but there are a number of small "issues" that would have benefited from an interim release. The lack of releases also give the appearance that TextMate has been abandoned, though I'm sure it hasn't.

While Allan is very responsive to emails, there is nothing on the TextMate site about the future of TextMate or its progress. The blog is updated every now and then, but mostly announcing a new bundle.

Overall TextMate is an excellent editor and I hope that it will continue to be part of my daily tools in the future.
