7000 commits, Allan is pretty badass, IMO.
For everyone mentioning sublime vs textmate. Editor holy wars are pointless. Jeez.

#102I really liked the web preview of TM1. But its gone in this version of TM2. :( No other editor has this functionality, except maybe espresso[1], but I don't really like their solution.
Nor am I that happy with http://livereload.com/ as it only updates on save.
As a front end dev, I want a live preview in my editor that autoupdates on each key press, this makes prototyping so much faster.
I guess its time to start working on a SublimeText2 Plugin...

#103No split windows yet... still hoping.
This was the first thing I looked for in the feature list and after I started it up for the first time. Thought for sure I was missing it some where. Looks like I'm not the only one.
Next, I was looking for fullscreen... Surely it's here, but I'm not seeing it.
These 2 features alone are huge to me and reasons I still stick with MacVim despite it feeling/being clumsy at times. It just doesn't have that same polish, look, feel that TextMate has. Sublime is nice I guess, but I just can't get into it (I still bought a license to try out and support the efforts).

#104I couldn't figure out how to change color scheme !?
I copied my old one, maybe this will help: Copy ~/Library/Application\ Support/TextMate/Themes/YourTextMate1.x.tmTheme To ~/Library/Application\ Support/TextMate/Managed/Bundles/Themes.tmbundle/Themes/ Name it, and regenerate the uuid (must be valid). Reopen textmate, select you're old theme from View -> Theme
how do i regenerate the uuid? with uuidgen??
I did that and copy the generated uuid and replace in my theme. it doesn't work.
did i do sth wrong?
Re: TextMate 2
#105Does it natively/properly support Japanese?
Even more broken than before, in fact. It cannot handle IME input at all (I'm testing with Kotoeri). Trying to type "aiueo" yields something like this (including all the NSUnderline stuff and highlights): http://cl.ly/0U3c3G3K471c0b341v33 However support for South Asian languages has improved a lot from what I can see, which is a good sign.
Ah geez, that's unfortunate. The hack to make CJK input work is the only part of Textmate 1 that I found sucky.

#106Earlier quoted context omitted.
I imagine all three are superior to TM2, especially Vim and Emacs, after you bust through the learning curve no point ever going back.
Programming on a laptop dramatically changes the cost/benefit of keyboard-heavy interfaces, IMHO. E.g. it's almost as quick for me to flick the cursor to switch tabs as it is to type a chorded keyboard shortcut to switch buffers, especially factoring in the ability to look and think about what buffer I want before initiating any movement.

Hah. Try doing that when you have 782 open buffers. :-)
Also, Emacs doesn't have real Lion full screen support, but try "M-x set-variable RET ns-auto-hide-menu-bar RET t RET" which comes close.

It doesn't come close at all. It takes over the primary desktop which results in very weird behavior with the Dock. Which is, ultimately, the thing that drives me up the wall about Emacs. It doesn't behave like an OS X app, and the token GUI support is fiddly and jarring (lack of smooth scrolling, etc). Now that other editors are upping the ante in terms of scriptability (Sublime Text has an awesome Python API, too bad its closed-source), the reasons to stick with Emacs are rapidly decreasing for me.

I was wondering similarly: Dev work on ST2 seems to have stopped altogether. Which is a pity, because it really was shaping up to be a winner. But there are still plenty of features missing. Now i'm using chocolatapp, which seems to be moving along briskly and now has a better feature set.
"""Dev work on ST2 seems to have stopped altogether.""" Yeah, no new beta release for a whole of 40 days! """Now i'm using chocolatapp, which seems to be moving along briskly and now has a better feature set.""" The only reason it "moves along briskly" is because it started with very little. And better than ST2? Currently is somewhere south of TextMate 1.x
Build 2143 came out on November 12. I'm using build 2144 from November 25. The release pace is slower, but that's still pretty active.
