Frank: For now there is the TextMate 2.0 FAQ.

Just googling textmate 2.0... could you possibly blog about when we can expect 2.0 or at least about what's happening?

Just a few words like: I don't have the time right now; it's proving more difficult than expected, I'm waiting for more people to move to Leopard, etc.

Most importantly "2.0 may be another X months/years away. So check back then."

Chunked Undo is what I am waiting for most of all – until then I use BBedit even though I have a paid version of Textmate just sitting there…. waiting… How about an early release candidate? You can send it to me, I won't tell :)

Yeah, I was wondering the same thing. I remember when I jumped on the machiest deal for this, hoping 2.0 would be around the corner. Look where we are now.

Michael Flynn:

Google returns 10600 results for "Textmate 2.0 vaperware". I think its safe to say that it may be just that. Over 2 years with no release?

Sigh!

So is version 2.0 vaperware? It seems that version 2.0 is MIA. I see that BBEdit keeps upgrading but nary a word from textmate. I was looking forward to version 2 and all of its features 2 years ago.

for the remote projects do this :

get sshfs and MacFUSE - and install reTextMate.

(or transmit using TM as external editor works well too)

I just did a web search for Textmate 2.0 hoping to hear news about it. I wasn't really expecting to stumble across a 2 year old artcle talking about it.

I love Textmate, and I desperately want it to be upgraded, particularly to introduce a remote projects (over FTP) feature. I would pay a good amount for Textmate+Remote projects.

Look forward to hearing any news on development.

I am very excited for an improved Textmate as the current version is showing its age. But I cannot help but wonder if Textmate 2 is vaporware?

This article above was written 2 years ago and Textmate is only a text editor. There is no reason to justify such a long development schedule for such a simple application when there are so many thousands of developers eagerly waiting for an upgrade. Many of whom are waiting with credit cards in hand.

I really hope to see a Textmate 2 before the competition offers up something better. It would be a shame to see Textmate 2 eclipsed by a competitor. Come on Alan, don't let them beat you to the punch.
