Yeah, that surprised a lot of my friends, too (especially considering my 2010 blog post[1] entitled "Mother fuck TextMate to hell").
But it won me over in a few of ways:
1) It's a native Mac app. An honest to goodness, OS X app with native widgets, text Services in the contextual menu, and an all-around attractive UI that works well with just about every OS feature.
2) It's open source now. Even though I haven't yet fixed any of my issues with it... I could.

3) It's got momentum: https://github.com/textmate/textmate/commits/master
All in all it's close though, and I didn't consciously choose to use Textmate 2... I just found myself reaching for it more often.
