They cried TextMate 2 at least three times already: June 2009, January 2010, and September 2011. But people are ready to pay for it again.
When migrating to Lion, I’ve made the decision to leave TextMate behind. Even before that I’ve been trying to get rid of it by learning to use MacVim. Then on Lion, I got BBEdit and I’m still learning it.
Even if TextMate 2 will actually become available at some point and even if I’ll get it for free, I’m not going to use it. And even if I’ll figure out BBEdit is not the best solution for what I need, I won’t go back to TextMate. I’ll try Sublime Text 2 next and then any other text editor that is alive and that gets updated on a regular basis.
