> Sadly I had to pull the alpha since it’s now all over twitter w/o proper introductionary text, hotfixes, etc. ( http://lists.macromates.com/textmate-dev/2011-December/01465... ) Maybe something to do with the IMPOSSIBLE TO MISS REQUEST TO NOT RE-PUBLISH THE ALPHA INFORMATION that people can't seem to comprehend.

For what's it worth, this was posted on a publicly accessible TextMate mailing list.

Not sure why he would think it wouldn't leak out.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

I imagine all three are superior to TM2, especially Vim and Emacs, after you bust through the learning curve no point ever going back.

Last I heard, TM2 was being targeted for Lion - two operating systems ago. Five years is a long time.

Little typo there, TM2 was targeting Leopard.

Hm.. I wonder how many people will switch back to TextMate 2 from Vim/Emacs/Sublime Text?

Ha, funny. I just switched back to Emacs this past week after a 5 year hiatus. Thank god for muscle memory..

This emacs user won't.

I've gotten too used to org-mode, SLIME, M-x shell, and a host of other things I'm pretty sure textmate doesn't do.

The Sublime2 dev builds have slowed as of late so I was wondering if the author was prepping for final release to steal TM2's thunder.

No split windows yet... still hoping.

Be sure to drop by in ##textmate on freenode, the discussion on how to implement and use split windows is not really making progress so far.

That is simply depressing. I went to Vim for this alone, and, well now I'm addicted to Vim.

For my personal use, this release falls a little flat because these days being cross-platform is a pretty important editor feature to me. It's great that Find in Files doesn't freeze the entire program anymore, but I need something that works no matter if I'm on my Mac laptop, my Windows desktop or my remote Linux server. I'm currently a Sublime Text 2 user by day, but I'm on the cusp of switching to Emacs full-time.

That said, TextMate was the first scriptable text editor I ever truly enjoyed using, and I'm really pleased to see that TM2 is finally about to be released to a wider audience after such a long development cycle. Congratulations to Allan for finally having something that he can share with the world, and I don't regret what I paid for the license, even if I no longer use it.

I don't know how Allan figured this release would remain out of the public eye. Yes if you want to alpha release it to a very select group of people but don't send your release notes and download links to a public mailing list. Word will definitely leak out.
