I am glad to see this, and will likely upgrade, but having moved on to PyCharm, I have very little reason to go back to TextMate for my Python/Django work.

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

I like Sublime Text, I paid for it, and it's cross-platform. No going back for me.

Loving the new proportional-fonts-for-headings in Markdown. It seems so obvious in retrospect, but it's the one thing that makes writing longer document painful for me in any text editor.

This is already available in Emacs. The Markdown mode is not configured by default to display proportional fonts for headings, however configuring it is easy.

Good for Emacs?

Several people have noted that TM2 lacks desired features, such as split screens. My guess (hope?) is that this alpha release includes massively refactored internals to allow new features to be added quickly. In other words, maybe it's a black triangle (http://rampantgames.com/blog/2004/10/black-triangle.html).

This emacs user won't. I've gotten too used to org-mode, SLIME, M-x shell, and a host of other things I'm pretty sure textmate doesn't do.

You should add Tramp to your list--I don't think textmate has anything like it and it's extremely useful. You can open a remote file or shell as easily as opening the same locally; my coworkers don't even notice that I'm editing files remotely!

Vim has this too (netrw) though it's not nearly as nice (as is typically the case.)

I couldn't figure out how to change color scheme !?

The Sublime2 dev builds have slowed as of late so I was wondering if the author was prepping for final release to steal TM2's thunder.

He slowed down the release of builds in an attempt to get out of beta I believe.

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

What thunder? I don't see much in the alpha release -- and the quality smells of another 1-2 years of waiting...

Have you used used it? I.e is this informed or uninformed nonsense?
