I use it nearly every day, so it's hard to adjust to anything else.

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.
I would have to agree. I tried Sublime Text for two weeks, but I continued to dislike it. It's not a bad editor or anything, it's just not for me. Personally I'm getting a bit tired of reading about how people think that TextMate is done and how we should move on. TextMate 1.5 is still my text editor of choice, it simply fit how I work. Honestly I would be happy if TextMate 1.5 is just maintained as is. There's a lot…
Seriously though, I agree that some incremental fixes to Textmate 1.5 might have been a saner option than a full rewrite. I for one did not wait and moved on in the meantime.
A lot of people I know switched from TextMate to vim because of the lengthy delay. After using vim for a couple of years now, it would be very hard to go back to TextMate.
Yeah, but far more people will never learn vim because of the learning curve.

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…

(I jest. Vim is an awesome editor and I recommend it to all my friends using Eclipse, Visual Studio, and XCode. But true enlightenment lies in Emacs, where vim is only another mode called evil: http://emacswiki.org/emacs/Evil)

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.
Off-topic: I see in your screenshots that Dock icons of applications that are not started are on their side. How did you do this?
But based on Adium, I assume that Mac OS X somehow allows you to change icons when the application starts. I would assume that it's something that the application need to handle.
> Full screen mode: This is mainly because we are hesitant to go Lion-only so we are holding back with “lionizing” TextMate till we feel confident we can fully drop backwards compatibility. That's not true. Adding full-screen support does not require breaking backwards compatibility: it's a quick check to see if the feature can be enabled.

so you mean there's more than 1 person sitting doing nothing for over 2 years?

I don't really understand why the application has to support full screen mode. Isn't that something the window manager should really be doing?
Still. It's pretty basic.
(As for the window manager supporting it, some apps really shouldn't be fullscreen - Address Book, I'm looking at you - so having an easy opt-in/out mechanism seems pretty necessary on the application side.)

I suspect that people who actually try Vim are perfectly likely to learn and like it. People who are scared away by comments like yours, on the other hand...
