(no title)

I know. I was just poking some fun at TextMate. TM2 was delayed by what, 6 years? One can't not joke about that.

I actually use TextMate 1.5 more than I use Sublime Text. Unfortunately, TextMate 1.5 was never open-sourced and TextMate 2 broke plugins designed for 1.5. So for me, it is abandonware. :(

Considering that the author clearly went through serious burnout during that time, no, I would not joke about that: http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=1388905

I don't understand why that can't be joked about.

Totally legitimate :-)

I’ve been very tempted to switch to ST2, but I realized that the TM2 delay could not have happened if it was open source.

Since then, I’m using Textmate 2 and Vim, and I plan to fully switch to Vim soon: open source, powerful, extensible, large community, lightweight, and multi-platform.
