Publisher's Description
From MacroMates:
TextMate is a versatile plain text editor with a unique and innovative feature set which caused it to win an Apple Design Award for Best Mac OS X Developer Tool in August 2006.
A rapidly growing community have created bundles for more than a hundred different "modes," including support for all major programming languages, writing prose in structured formats such as LaTeX, Markdown, Textile, etc., blogging, running SQL queries, writing screen plays, doing your budget, and much much more.
Some of the features include:
- collapsable text blocks - fold away the code you don't want to see
- recordable macros - you don't have to write a script to automate tedious work
- a CSS-inspired selector system which allows preferences and more to be applied to subsets of your document - you want return to do something different inside comments? or maybe you want spell checking enabled for your strings in C++, both can be done in seconds.
- snippets with tab-able placeholders and live transformations on the text you enter
- column operations - if you align your code nicely TextMate will reward you with eased editing!
- superb shell integration - don't worry if you are not familiar with bash, TextMate is here to teach you about all the wonders of the OS X UNIX underpinnings!

"Apart from the name ..."
Version: TextMate 1.5.10
Pros
... this is the editor I have had in my head for *years*.
To give but 1 killer feature the 'Bundles' commands means you can enhance TextMate in any language you want.
The scary flexibility of emacs with the slick professionalism of UltraEdit all wrapped up in a thoughtful, uncluttered, interface.
Ok - not cheap but comparable with BBedit & UltraEdit & better than both. Wonderful.Cons
It didn't successfully predict the last lottery numbers.

"The Best"
Version: TextMate 1.5.9

TextMate is easily the best text editor on any platform. -

Textmate has nice features but now, suddenly, I'm getting bombs on text files. -
"This app has serious geek mojo."
Version: TextMate 1.5.6
Summary
This review was originally posted on VersionTracker.com.
The Unix-based concepts behind TextMate would seem to put it at the leading edge of text editing, where all manner of text manipulations occur with the magic of a few keystrokes (we don't need no stinkin' mouse). Lots of keystroke combinations to remember, but the time savings for those who use these shortcut assistants should be significant on a daily basis. Yet it's a big-picture coding/programming app that remains flexible and doesn't get bogged down by specialization. For those who appreciate this type of mindset, it's fabulous.
OTOH, it isn't as mature as BBEdit, which is expected, given the 7-version difference. BBEdit can validate html code site-wide, while TextEdit can validate only one file at a time (I'm still reading the manual to double-check this). BBEdit then can whisk you from the error list to the text in question, while in TextMate, you have to note the error line number in the validation window and then locate it in the file. That's a huge time saver in BBEdit on a web site consisting of a hundred text files or more. Also, BBEdit works well with DreamWeaver, for those of us who admit to using it, as I do, when push comes to shove.
But it's clear that TextMate has the structural underpinnings and focussed development to potentially leave everything else in the dust within a few versions. For those who jump on now, I think it's a wise investment. -
"A must! Terrific TextEditor and more than that!!"

Simply can't live without this great TextEditor!
Keep up the great work!
And thanks for making my life easier with TextMate!! ; ) -
"Very nice App"
Version: TextMate 1.5.3
Summary
This review was originally posted on VersionTracker.com.
This is a very powerful app. It quickly became my replacement for TextWrangler. It is fast, compact, feature rich, and rock solid. I feel that the cost is a little high, but given what many apps simalar to this go for the price is very good. -
"This is emacs/vim territory"
Version: TextMate 1.5.3
Summary
This review was originally posted on VersionTracker.com.
This is by far the best text editor avalable today for any system. Forget BBEdit and Ultraedit and all those. Those have nice features but when it comes to pure text handling then TextMate shoots ahead. The fact that I can use texmate for days without touching the mouse ever is a good example on how easy and powerful the text handling tools are.
TextMate is in a category with VIM and emacs. Its a powertool for those who manage code. And it does that while being very Apple like. Unlike BBedit that has so complex and huge menus that Microsoft would blush.
