TextMate 2 Goes Open Source →

Allan Odgaard:

I’ve always wanted to allow end-users to tinker with their environment, my ability to do this is what got me excited about programming in the first place, and it is why I created the bundles concept, but there are limits to how much a bundle can do, and with the still growing user base, I think the best move forward is to open source the program.

While Odgaard hasn’t declared this the death of the text editor, it doesn’t give me much hope about its future.
