PLEASE DO NOT REPUBLISH THIS INFORMATION! .. is probably the best thing to write if you want something to get republished ;-) Nonetheless, all of the reports I'm seeing on Twitter are resoundingly positive so far, albeit with a few complaints over the icon (but what's new there?)

Sounds like: "Don't think of a pink elephant."

Common courtesy? I know it's rather uncommon these days...

Common courtesy is typically lost after 6 years of neglect.

Sorry, but "neglect" is a pretty obnoxious accusation you're leveling against Alan. He's dutifully maintained Textmate 1.5.x over those years and has released many many updates. That these releases have not also served to entertain you is simply not a legitimate complaint, let alone an excuse to suspend "common courtesy".

How is the author taking his time to release a new version neglect? People that were not happy with the wait migrated to other editors. He owns us nothing.

Yup, we owe him nothing as well.

That's why is it called "common" courtesy.

Except the part where people who received the original email have 100% control over whether or not they do tell other people about it.

Meanwhile the sublime text 2 guy knocks out sweet new features every couple of weeks like it ain't no thing. Just sayin'

Yeah you have a point there. There are a ton of people knocking out new versions daily. My favorite editor's developer, Chocolat (http://chocolatapp.com) has been updating his editor almost daily for the past few days! In any case, why is it so important for TextMate to get to 2.0? This is an honest question. I understand that software needs minor bug fixes and patches so it can continue to be stable, run well despite OS updates, and be secure but what new features is everyone looking for? I just don't get what people are waiting for.

Ok, yeah, maybe it was naive to expect the link to not be redistributed but was it too much to ask that people actually honor the request? Especially considering its going to be publicly available in a day. I hope none of you work in national security.

Better integration with version control is what I was looking for. I've moved on to emacs at this point.
