Long term readers of my blog will know that I have a bit of a thing for text editors, and TextMate in particular on the mac. I’ve recently had to start using the Mac again full-time after a brief stint with Linux (current project needs use of Flash every day) and I have to say it’s darned good to be back using Textmate again.
Even better is that Allan Odgaard has broken radio silence and updated his blog with a post about development work on TextMate 2.0 (read the full post here). The new version sounds better than ever and will, I’m sure, be a worthy update to the current version. There has been a lot of talk on the Textmate mailing list about when it will be ready, quizzing Allan on why it’s taking so long, etc. and he has dealt with it all with great dignity I think. Personally, I can’t wait.
