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.
You're definitely not alone. It's cross platform, so it's not quite at home on OS X, it just feels wrong somehow. Pity really.

Try Vico. Textmate bundles and vim editing.
I did (but admittedly not for long). It didn't have the same level of polish. Has this changed? I can already use TM bundles on Sublime Text, but it just felt more feature complete.

It's more polished now than it was. It's still in its nascent stages, but it's improving on a roughly monthly basis, in a definite excellent direction. The vi approach seems to be at its core, which is notable as new features are being implemented. And it's scriptable in Nu, which is pretty sweet and gives you access to all of Cocoa.
Re: TextMate 2 (Public) Alpha
#94I moved to vim more out of boredom more than anything. Using vim turned into a game for me... always trying a more efficient way of doing something. Problem now is that all of the vim keybindings are etched into my head, and it goes way beyond the standard basic keybindings. It has to do with the way Vim chains commands. There's no vim-like editor that can do that except vim, gvim & mvim. For this reason alone, vim h…

#96Out of curiosity, does anybody have any screenshots or something, just to get a feel of what this is like? I don't have a license, and don't want to buy one either.
Blackboard theme and the font is DejaVu Sans Mono... I think TextMate 2 just uses the font I set in version 1.

There's not much to see, it's an editor, but here you go: http://i.imgur.com/ZyIP5.png Blackboard theme and the font is DejaVu Sans Mono... I think TextMate 2 just uses the font I set in version 1.

#99In 1.x I could do
defaults write com.macromates.TextMate OakLineHeightDelta n
but 2.x doesn't respect that (or com.macromates.Avian OakLineHeightDelta).Re: TextMate 2 (Public) Alpha
#100In the mean time Sublime Text 2 has all of the Alpha features as well as cross platform support and support for TextMate bundles. You should really give it a shot if you haven't.
There is one feature in TextMate that's not in Sublime which I really love to the point, where it's an absolute requirement for me: when I edit a file in TextMate and my account lacks permission for saving the file, TM would allow me to sudo right from the GUI in order to still save. This is much better than seeing that I can't save, copy the whole file to the clipboard, reopen it with 'sudo vim' and then pasting it…
