His website still has the binary on it.

#73Personally, if I could combine the TM modules into BBEdit (which uses Applescript for scripting), I'd be perfectly happy.

#74Textmate2 needs one thing for me to use it prime-time again: split screen in OS X full screen mode (just like Sublime Text 2).
Now I can code that myself (oh joy :)

#75I don't want to pick on Allan Odgaard, but I think the way he's handled the TM2 project is pretty bad. Allen is a great guy and I love TM. However, here are some facts. TM2 has taken SIX YEARS. It was "90% done" 2009. This is a living, breathing case study in why quick customer-driven releases are better than "big upfront plans" and "giant system rewrites." Anyone who has developed a major application knows what I'm…
It's a famous Joel Spolsky essay: Things You Should Never Do, Part 1 [1]. Never do a full system rewrite. Pain and sadness follow.

I don't think one person would make a case study. Whatever his reason is, it would be a very specific personal reason. A case study of this will be just be like profiling a patient in a lab.

#77Am I the only one surprised by total lack of history in the repository?

Yes. Did you use it for your job? How many hours did you use it? Well worth the $50
That is a terrible way to measure utility, there are so many other factors to consider. I use my keyboard for work constantly , but it is not worth more than maybe $10 to me.

I'd say his measurement of utility makes a lot more sense than yours.

Not wrong may be but definitely not logical. Its like saying "I am miffed because I paid $500 for 32 MB of RAM 10 years ago while I can now pay $100 for 2 GB of RAM". Different times, different technology.
When was the last time you looked at RAM prices? You can get 32 GB now for $100. (Complete insanity.)
Exactly. I was just a hypothetical price but you proved my point even further. Side note, I have actually not bought RAM for like ever. Its been ages :). I guess did not need to.

#80Awesome! Can someone comment on how probable it would be to port it to linux (and windows)?
Well it's all in Obj-C, so either a non-OS X Obj-C compilation tool or rewrite it out all out of Obj-C. Doable, but I don't think many people will be queuing up for the task.
Browsing through the code, Objective-C seems to be used for the UI, but the guts of the code (the Frameworks directory) is in C++.
I have mixed feelings about TextMate going open source. If QuickSilver is any indication, it will now definitely take forever for a new release. Dang! and I seriously don't like ST2.
