Most OS's give you the ability to remap keys as you see fit. in addition, most modern Linux distros allow you to hook up an Apple keyboard. Combine the two and this entire post is unnecessary. All of that being said, there's no difference between using the Apple key for commands vs. other key combos (ctrl-alt-shift, etc) it's simply user preference. If you take this argument down to it's base level, it's a frustration at having to learn the UI of a new program, the equivalent of Vim vs Emacs. All of that is fine, but burying that sentiment in a general "only Mac software can do this" post which isn't the case. All of this being said, it's looking more and more like Textmate development is dead, perhaps it's time to look at one of the alternatives?
