Hm.. I wonder how many people will switch back to TextMate 2 from Vim/Emacs/Sublime Text?

After playing with TM2 for half an hour or so, I don't think I'll be switching back from Vim. I was hoping for some split-screen action and maybe some advanced autocomplete intergration, but it doesn't seem to have either. It's looking to be a great update and improves on a lot of things in the existing version, but if I were honest, I'd have to say I wouldn't bother upgrading if it wasn't free. That said, it's obvio…

I don't have a license so I don't saw the alpha but it's seems frustrating that in 5 years of "development" so little was added. But, OTOH, it's not the final version.

What sorts of things does it improve?

> Sadly I had to pull the alpha since it’s now all over twitter w/o proper introductionary text, hotfixes, etc. ( http://lists.macromates.com/textmate-dev/2011-December/01465... ) Maybe something to do with the IMPOSSIBLE TO MISS REQUEST TO NOT RE-PUBLISH THE ALPHA INFORMATION that people can't seem to comprehend.

I was thinking the same thing. It's too good to be true, so people are too eager to share it, despite Alpha issues.

Can't wait to try it myself though...

Yeah, no doubt. I saw that and thought it was lame for people to post the announcement. WTF? And I'm the one with -20 karma. I have no idea how. WTF is karma anyway?

I imagine all three are superior to TM2, especially Vim and Emacs, after you bust through the learning curve no point ever going back.

Last I heard, TM2 was being targeted for Lion - two operating systems ago.

Five years is a long time.

Release Notes: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/891742/Screenshots/tm2_release_notes...

Major changes include the new project drawer (though, I prefer ProjectPlus[1]), and the new bundle/theme updater[2], where you just tick the box and it auto-installs.
