Is it wrong of me to be a little miffed that I paid $50, admittedly a long time ago, for Textmate?
Yes. Did you use it for your job? How many hours did you use it? Well worth the $50
I use my keyboard for work constantly, but it is not worth more than maybe $10 to me.

Slightly, yes. If you program for your day job you're using your editor something like 2,000 hours a year. I paid for TextMate something like 5 years ago... given that I used it for approaching 10,000 hours since then... A text editor and a computer have such an amazing return on investment it makes anything else pale in comparison. Even if you're paid $50,000 per year, your $50 investment into TextMate made you $250…

TM2 alpha didn't fix it. Gave up.
Well TextMate was cool while it lasted. Good thing I switched to Sublime Text 2 a week ago.
Maybe some of them could step up and do some pull requests.

You don't think it has anything to do with Sandboxing requirements in the App Store and Mountain Lion having an option not to allow non-App Store applications? I'm seriously asking, not trying to start a flame war here.
The original TextMate isn't on the App Store and I'd have to think the number of people who go into the Security settings and disallow running of non-App Store signed binaries is vanishingly small.
You only need to change settings (or right-click and hit Open) if you are running unsigned binaries.
I've been using Textmate 2 for the past week or so and I still prefer 1 + missing drawer. For me, the only thing Textmate 1 is missing are split views (something 2 is missing as well). I wonder if there is still enough interest in the app where people will contribute all of the community's desired changes -- I hope there is. Am I one of the only Textmate users who feel that Sublime isn't the right "upgrade"? I much p…

I've gotten far more than $50 out of having access to Textmate 2 during that time.
I don't feel miffed at all.
I stopped using TM1 for one reason: undo (which is one. character. at. a. time.) TM had a lot of fans, but no-one liked its undo (some didn't dislike it that much). TM2 alpha didn't fix it. Gave up.

Erm, Objective-C probably isn't the problem, even NeXt used gcc for that (not sure how much of the current feature bloat isn't in copyrighted libraries). But GNUStep isn't exactly up to par with Cocoa, never mind not exactly the default desktop environment. Porting the whole editor from Obj-C++/Cocoa to C++/KDE or C/Gtk would be a pretty huge task, where you'd better off starting from scratch anyway (as with a lot of…
Cocotron[1] attempts to be up to part with Cocoa though. I'm not sure if it would cover everything needed by TM, but it would be a pretty decent start. [1] http://www.cocotron.org/
