Oh well, helps explain the Vim goldrush of the past few months.
The market must be pretty small for Mac native text editors (and they must be difficult to implement on a grand scale). Otherwise some company would have walked into the gaping void that has been the delay to release TextMate 2.0 and released something by now. The door has been wide open for some time but no one is able or willing to step through it. Oh well, helps explain the Vim goldrush of the past few months.
I'm a Textmate user though. I don't mind that there have been delays in releasing 2.0, because it doesn't make 1.5 any less useful — it does everything I want it to do and it's still supported.

The longer you use MacVim, the more that will be true. Before you know it, you will hardly miss TextMate at all.
With a few Vim plugins, there's nothing left to miss. One of particular note for TextMate users, Command-T: https://wincent.com/products/command-t
It's the best thing ever.
One thing that drives me insane: I cannot see path of files in a folder. If there are duplicate file names, I have to modify the file and then open directories where I think it could be and to see if it has that "not yet saved" state.
Is there a quick way to do this I am unaware of? Or is it a feature coming in the future?
Hope you enjoy a nice restful weekend after your hard work getting this one out.

On one side, you've got all the IDEs, like NetBeans, IntelliJ & Eclipse (not to mention XCode) that go far beyond TextMate, really making the cost of TextMate seem ridiculous. On the other side you have free products that offer almost everything TextMate does for very simple editing.
Textmate was a good idea back when support for interpreted languages in an IDE was pretty much non-existent. Now that true IDEs have support for interpreted languages, there's no room for a TextMate type editor. Its time has come and gone.

My biggest gripe with TM 1.5 is how Find in Project still beachballs on a new 3.33 6-core Westmere RAID 10 setup. Even after hearing everyone else's problems with FiP, I thought it might have been the slow HD in my last iMac. It's not. ;)
Definitely use the "Ack In Project" bundle instead of "Find in Project". It's like night and day.

A company that can pay a developer salary but won't pay the cost of that developer's favorite text editor has its priorities out of whack.
Especially when said editor costs only $55. That's nothing compared to the cost of a lot of other commercial editors.

I think it's more that the audience for a TextMate type editor is extremely small.

I'm not sure what the gaping hole is the op is talking about. Textmate is an awesome editor and it doesn't matter that there hasn't been an update in a while.
The only thing I really miss with text mate is good git integration.
