#2What is the motivation for this? Is the developer losing steam / is support for it not strong enough? Either way, this is pretty cool.

This doesn't really explain much.
The way TextMate2 was going, I'd bet it's something like, it wasn't getting done, and the author was too busy or uninterested to continue, so open sourcing it probably is a way that it may actually ever get finished.

Well it's all in Obj-C, so either a non-OS X Obj-C compilation tool or rewrite it out all out of Obj-C.
Doable, but I don't think many people will be queuing up for the task.

Did Textmate come with a promise that your money would help fund the development of Textmate2?

And you got Textmate a long time ago. And yes, your upgrade to Textmate 2 was free.
So it's a bit wrong of you to think you were bamboozled.

Only if that version of Textmate didn't satisfy your requirements for a text editor.
