I'm still using textmate on my mac.. and missing my favorite vim features. What I miss the most isn't a particular feature.. but to be able to control exactly where I want to go next instead of relying on (right,right,right,right,right) or things like that. i.e. To select the word contained between quotes, bct" instead of like "back back", alt+shift+right + shift+left+left (to remove unnecessary selected stuff). I know there is a textmate plugin which let you use vim inside.. but it didn't quite worked for me. I might give it another try.
