Comment Re:Been demoing it myself. compare to BBEDIT (Score 1) 226

I just recently gave TextMate a solid week of work (using the demo - still have 20+ days left) instead of my normal TextWrangler (BBEdit's little brother). I really like the way TextMate does some things, particularly the automatic matching of quotes and brackets and the shortcut to close an open HTML tag. I got used to the larger default font size and some of the preferences for dealing with files when the app starts up. But none of it was really enough for me to justify the ~$52 price tag. I went in and changed some prefs in TextWrangler to make it feel more like the things I liked from TextMate. The only thing I can't get the way I want in TextWrangler is that I have an option for when the app starts to either start with a new, empty file or not, that's fine when I invoke the app on its own but when I open a file and it starts the app, I'd rather it didn't create an unnecessary empty file. TextMate has that option and it doesn't seem to be much of a stretch. If TextWrangler weren't around, I'd definitely buy TextMate without a second thought.
