But the unintelligent ctrl+a macro was a little upsetting, which it looks like maybe you have a plugin for? I guess I'll get to reading. I almost did buy a mac when I saw TextMate.

Future development of TextMate without Allan Odgaard is too scary for me to contemplate. Here's a thought: If Apple did buy TextMate (and Allan), Allan would probably then get access to the Terminal.app code. Imagine being able to have a full terminal session inside TextMate. Not just being able to run commands, but have a session. Every time I am in the rails console I think to myself "why am I not in TextMate doing this?"

I'm already betting that Rails will be included in OS X 10.5, so throwing TextMate in there would make total sense. It would be pretty nifty if TextMate was bundled in with OS X. Let's hope that they don't completely kill the application, if they decide to buy it. Apple take note, indeed.

I bought a MacBook Pro, and one of the main reasons was so I could partake of the TextMate goodness. No complaints about that, it's worth every penny and I love the MBP -- but now the plot thickens: I need to send my MBP in for service and I don't have any other Macs. I'm now contemplating buying a "backup Mac" just so I can continue developing on TextMate. The very thought of going back to a Linux desktop or to Windows is completely impalatable.

I love it that people will buy a several thousand dollar Mac just to run a text editor! I’ve already pointed this out to several friends who work at Apple.
