I just want small things, like a faster search; not some big ass Duke Nukem Forever/Trillian Astra piece of software. Its very disappointed and I'm already looking around for alternatives. </p> I agree with @FlyboyArt, its just stupid for the TM team to not be iteratively delivering features on Textmate.

BTW I asked for split views years ago as well to no avail…

There are many ways to mimick it to a certain degree, but it's not as great as if TextMate actually supported it.
