TextMate is my favourite editor on the Mac, only recently have I been using MacVim on my work computer since as a startup they are unable to purchase a license for TextMate.

Honestly though, there are some things in MacVim I am now starting to miss in TextMate.

The longer you use MacVim, the more that will be true. Before you know it, you will hardly miss TextMate at all.

As a warning, TM removed the opt+tab and opt+shift+tab keyboard shortcuts in this point release (they're now cmd+[ and cmd+]). I was able to get one of them working via keyboard preferences, but the other was inserting literal tab characters. After a few minutes of trying to hunt that down I downgraded. Nothing in the release notes was something I'd personally had a problem with.

With a few Vim plugins, there's nothing left to miss.

One of particular note for TextMate users, Command-T: https://wincent.com/products/command-t

This was in the release notes.
