I definitely felt somewhat pushed by the mythical creature that TextMate 2 is. This isn't to say I have any outstanding critical issues with TextMate as it is, more that I feel like I've plateaued with it, but I know there's a faster way of doing things by watching Vim masters at work. Katz's post was the catalyst to pushing me to actually go and try it; he seemed like he was a similar mindset to me, and his success spurred me on.
