#12Split views are coming. From the post: "Split views: Yes, I actually had this on the alpha milestone, I’m not overly excited about this feature myself, but I know it’s a very common request, so eventually it should find its way into the application."

i don't understand this. how does he code only looking at one file at a time?

I'm sure I'm not the only textmate user who finds Sublime Text hideous. I'd sooner bite the bullet on vim if I'm going the ugly route.
really? i've always thought it was very comparable (I checked out Sublime Text 2)

Sublime text is very clunky and has that very weird "UI app written in a scripting language feel" to it. I know that's not a value which is easy to quantify, but I think it's down to a slightly weird architecture and latency because of its heavy dependency on python.

I tried Sublime Text 2 and didn't like it, now waiting for a stable release of TextMate 2

Maybe...drumroll... multiple windows?

different strokes for different folks. i look at one buffer at a time, and switch between them. have only rarely made use of split views. helps me mentally with encapsulation/separation.

I don't get why people think this is an editor feature, and not an OS feature.
When I want to view two files at the same time, I open two windows, and put them side by side.
Not everything needs to be fullscreen all-the-time. Let the OS manage windows. It's better at it!
Besides, having windows automatically become half-maximized is easy with the right tools, like BetterTouchTool (Do it with a gesture!), or Divvy.

This is a common misconception about ST2. The editor is actually written in C++, but exposes a Python API for plugins.

That's kind of what I was referring to, likewise with Eclipse. Textmate has always been the polar opposite of whatever that feeling is.
