After playing with TM2 for half an hour or so, I don't think I'll be switching back from Vim. I was hoping for some split-screen action and maybe some advanced autocomplete intergration, but it doesn't seem to have either. It's looking to be a great update and improves on a lot of things in the existing version, but if I were honest, I'd have to say I wouldn't bother upgrading if it wasn't free.
That said, it's obviously an alpha release, so who knows what the future will hold.
- brcrth 15y agoI don't have a license so I don't saw the alpha but it's seems frustrating that in 5 years of "development" so little was added. But, OTOH, it's not the final version.
- dextorious 15y ago"""But, OTOH, it's not the final version.""" That doesn't change much. Either it will be released soon, so not much will be added in the final version, or we wait for more stuff to be added before it's released in another 2-5 years, making it totally pointless as of now. (And given that it's not like the previous 5 years were well spent, we already know how this will go...)
- bigfudge 15y agoExcept that if the guts are there to add features quickly, it could have been time well spent. We just don't know yet, but progress over the next month should be indicative (see progress on ST2 as an example of a seemingly healthy codebase in this regard)
- pealco 15y agoWhat sorts of things does it improve?

Major changes include the new project drawer (though, I prefer ProjectPlus[1]), and the new bundle/theme updater[2], where you just tick the box and it auto-installs. - [1] http://ciaranwal.sh/2008/08/05/textmate-plug-in-projectplus http://ciaranwal.sh/2008/08/05/textmate-plug-in-projectplus [2] http://dl.dropbox.com/u/891742/Screenshots/1hgh.png http://dl.dropbox.com/u/891742/Screenshots/1hgh.png
