TextMate 2.0 alpha 發布，Mac文本編輯器

TextMate是Mac下的著名的文本編輯器軟件，與BBedit一起并稱蘋果機上的emacs和vim。尤其適合程序員使用，可以定制許多貼心使用的功能。

TextMate的Bundles是TextMate的一個亮點，可以有效的提高開發速度。

TextMate 不是一個開源軟件。

包括DHH在內的Rails核心開發者一直都使用TextMate進行開發，原因就是他們主要都在使用Mac OS系統，并且TextMate具備出色的界面、強大的宏定義、以及可下載和編輯的宏定義包（bundles），這些都幫助開發者將編碼的效率提升到最高。對于TextMate帶給開發者的吸引力，Livid這樣評價道：

發現我對于TextMate的嚴重依賴除了是因為輸入方面的那些切切實實的便利及那個好用的Project Browser之外，就是TextMate的那些color theme實在是太贊了，尤其是那個叫做Blackboard的，一個多月來一直都是在這樣的環境下工作，真是種享受。

TextMate 2.0 alpha 主要改進：

• Split views: Yes, I actually had this on the alpha milestone, I’m not overly excited about this feature myself, but I know it’s a very common request, so eventually it should find its way into the application.
• Full screen mode: This is mainly because we are hesitant to go Lion-only so we are holding back with “lionizing” TextMate till we feel confident we can fully drop backwards compatibility.
• Performance: Overall performance is fine, but there are still edge-cases that we haven’t looked into, for example the long lines issue which also exists in 1.x or opening files that exhaust TextMate’s memory space.
• Bundle editor: While a proof-of-concept bundle editor is included, it is provisional, has some flaws, and not how we envision the final bundle editor to be.
• Settings: Not everything in the Preferences window has an effect at the moment and several menu settings are not sticky, some even revert when switching tabs. Those can be set via .tm_properties— more about this in an upcoming post.
