Didn't like it that much. After about half an hour using it went back to Textmate 1. Now I'll give a chance to Sublime Text 2 that I've had around for ages but never got to give it a real chance yet.

How this could leak out is really beyond me. I mean can't people keep secrets on the internet anymore? He even asked to NOT RE-PUBLISH THE INFORMATION, and then this.

Still no mention of chunked Undos. Undo'ing character by character is why I gave up on TextMate years ago, but I suppose I should be thankful since it helped me find Vim.

Character-by-character undo is actually the reason I first started using Textmate. Most of the time, I don't want the editor to guess what I want to undo, I want it to undo each individual keystroke and action I made.

But is it better than sublime? :P

No

The strength of TextMate has always been its powerful scripting interface, something that Sublime currently lacks to extreme.

For me anyway, there are few text editors that can equal the power than TM provides in this domain. Please prove me wrong.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

What thunder? I don't see much in the alpha release -- and the quality smells of another 1-2 years of waiting...

Have you used used it? I.e is this informed or uninformed nonsense?

Oh, I see what you did here.

Yeah, I f*n used it. I'm a paying 1.x user, and I downloaded TM2. Not very impressive. Actually, mostly the same.

I hope you're being ironic.

Meanwhile the sublime text 2 guy knocks out sweet new features every couple of weeks like it ain't no thing. Just sayin'

Yeah you have a point there. There are a ton of people knocking out new versions daily. My favorite editor's developer, Chocolat ( http://chocolatapp.com ) has been updating his editor almost daily for the past few days! In any case, why is it so important for TextMate to get to 2.0? This is an honest question. I understand that software needs minor bug fixes and patches so it can continue to be stable, run well desp…

Check Emacs.

Seriously? That's why there are different kinds of Undo for different key combinations in serious text editors.
