Agree, I am impressed with how Textmate development has been going since it was opensourced, but my point really was that OS issues, bugs and incompatibilities can quickly add up over the course of a year or two, without any active development. The advantage of something like VIM or emacs is that they're first and foremost terminal based, and are shielded from a lot of these issues.

Lets also not forget that Sublime text isnt free, and i am sure paying users dont really want to be left in the dark for 6 months to a year.

I almost bought Sublime, but realized it was a bad idea just in time. I decided to give emacs another shot, this time jumping headfirst into Lisp too, and it's amazing. Really nice.
