TextMate: The Missing Editor for OS X
It’s been a while since I’ve checked in on Textmate–my steady date this last year for most text editing work.
The updates have been coming fast and furious lately, and have included tons of tiny features I love. In the last couple days, we’ve gotten a cool little menu bar that lets you change code highlighting language or run bundle-based commands, macros, and snippets (how I love you, snippets).
The lack of polish that a lot of people ragged in the app’s early days keeps being corrected with smart, good-looking little tweaks. It’s still a lean and mean geek app, but I like where it’s headed. Might be worth having another look at if it’s been a while for you.
(Also, here’s the appcasting RSS feed of the changelog. Yes, thanks, I am a huge dork.)

A slight annoyance with trialware:...
A slight annoyance with trialware: I first tried textmate when it was very new. It seemed too un-polished and sketchy for me to pay money to keep. Now that it has gotten more polished and better (according to you), my trial has expired and installing the newest version doesn’t renew it. So now I can’t find out what the new version is like, and if I can’t demo it, I’m not going to buy it.
