i am happy to wait for the time it takes to produce tm2. it sounds like alan’s learned a lot and is intent on producing something that will be around for a long time - and will require less time, once complete, to produce ‘major’ updates.

I would charge money for it because everyone would pay for a tm2 delivered this year instead of duke nukem forever dates :(, which in turn would bring more revenue, and in so you could actually hire another seasoned programmer, to help you drive tm2 development to a higher pace. It's been 1 year since the tm2 announcement that it will be available and really it does feel like vaporware, and this should not happen, because there is room for improvement and having a faq where you tell that you should put tm2 next to duke nukem forever is really a way of saying that tm2 might never come out, which in turn this might drive people to move to a product with a more clear vision for the future. I think you made a great product, i hope you will take this comment in a good sense, but you need to have tm2 a paid product, and hire more guys if you need to have this product have a real roadmap.</p> Allan: Personally i think that your mistake was the fact that you want to deliver tm2 as a free update.

Care to reason about my ‘condescending’ (?) language?

Having a privately held company post monthly information about what the employes have been up to is damn near insane, and I am not sure how you think it would change anything. I mean, it’s not like it brings us any closer to whatever next product I may or may not decide to release.

That said, I do feel I show some openness on the mailing list and IRC channel, which is the venue for my communication with the community.

As for your “core bundles […] dying”, April had several hundred commits and I am seeing great things from the community like the revamped Dialog v2 plug-in and the interactive input injection library. So I don’t see lack of interest in building stuff for TextMate despite lack of major updates to the core application.

I btw find it ironic that you dismiss Paul’s reasoning with the suggestion I just ignore the potential backfire, yet it seems you’d argue that the current whining about lack of full disclosure should not just be ignored ;)
