TextMate's story, yay.

I'm pleased with TextMate 1.5, more so than earlier versions. It's clean, fast, reasonably powerful, and a little bit sexy—i.e. Mac native. Unfortunately, I'm not sure it can replace more mature editing environments for some tasks (Objective C and Applescript in Xcode, Java in Eclipse, LaTeX and even Python in Emacs), and when some of those are pretty good for general editing tasks, it doesn't seem worth paying money for another editor.

Not that I get to write code any more... *sniff*...
