This is great news. So glad to see next stable version of the Editor which invented or at-least made Snippets and Quick-Open popular.

I've been taking TM 2.0 for spin for the past few weeks. I must say - it is THE editor that gives true Mac editor experience.

No complaints on performance. And it is very stable.

1. Among the existing features, UI refresh for Quick Open window is required as it feels very heavy now in 2.0. TM 1.x Quick open window UI was slick and neat and I wish they kept it as such. Same comment goes for Go to Symbol window (CMD + SHIFT + T).

2. They would win back a lot of users if they provide a slick option to have split editor to make use of very common high-DPI Mac screens.

3. Documentation for Textmate 2.0 is still WIP as I see on their website. Lot of pages are empty with titles alone.

And glad to see Alan's comment in ChangeLog - `Not everything on the wishlist made it into 2.0, but TextMate remains a work in progress, so don’t despair :)`
