Alternate headline: Textmate clone beats Textmate to version 2. This was pretty much my text editor of choice when I had to use a Windows box.

In other news, Chrome, a Firefox clone, has beaten Firefox to version 4, and also to version 5... ... Or maybe, just maybe, comparing version numbers across different programs is completely useless.

  Better not compare releases and new features either ... like it or not TextMate is stagnant.

    If you want to compare features, then please do. I love TextMate but it's a tool, and I'm happy to drop it if something better comes along (which might be TM2 or not, don't care). But discussing/comparing features is a sensible topic. Saying that E-text beat Textmate to version 2 it useless. First, version number has nothing to do with features (as I was pointing out in the browser world). Second you can say E-text 2 is better than the latest Textmate, but nothing more: nobody apart from the author (and his collaborator) knows what's TM2 gonna be like.

  I dislike admitting that Chrome is a lot faster than Firefox in some useful ways. One useful way I ran into is with 2000+ svg objects in a custom UI. SVG + Javascript is a fantastic platform for user interfaces, in my experience... compared to both HTML divs / css /js and also Cocoa native. Please google, turn on svg in Android...

  Well, E was inspired heavily by Textmate and IIRC the author of Textmate was involved a bit: http://e-texteditor.com/blog/2006/11 http://e-texteditor.com/blog/2006/11

    Sure. My point wasn't to say that E-text wasn't inspired by Textmate: it even states so clearly on its page. Simply that comparing version numbers is pointless: call it E-text 2010 for all I care, and it won't be better or worse for it.
