Kevin Lipe, at The Last Revivalist:
It’s not ready for primetime yet. It crashes weirdly. Stuff breaks. But, more than anything, it feels good to know that it exists, and that it really is a major evolution of the things that made the original TextMate so good. I’m going to keep using it for real work until I run into an issue that forces me back to the old version. Time will tell how well I get along with the half-baked bundle editor, but I’m sure it’ll get better.
Bottom line is this: If you’re a lover of TextMate — even if you gave up hope and tried something else — you owe it to yourself to install the alpha.
