Does TextMate really cost a price tag as a code editor?

I read messages from many people, raved about TextMate as a code editor, and wondered if it really was worth the expensive price tag, since there are many free alternatives.

Is it really better than DashCode, TextWrangler or even Vim / Emacs?

What are the functions that install its appart?

TextMate felt β€œmagical” when I tried it in 2006. The bookmark / snippet system, rectangular fetching / editing, extensibility, good SVN integration and general style made it much better for coding than TextWrangler, DreamWeaver or something else I tried at that time. I was very excited about this and preached my power around me.

I bought it right after the project was completed with a trial version. At that time, it was worth every penny.

It took me a year of heavy use to get to the plateau. I knew TextMate very well, but it began to feel "limited" in some way.

Actually, TextMate was very influential: many IDEs / editors now have many features inspired by TextMate. Meanwhile, the development of TextMate has stalled, and last year I started digging into Wim.

For me, TextMate will be worth the price. I am looking for a simple solution to find matching brackets / braces when encoding in MediaWiki. Since TextMate has a MediaWiki package, it seems to find matching pairs and those that don't (most of them). It helped me a lot. By the way, I have been using TextWrangler (and its predecessor BBEdit Lite) for several years now. These applications can color HTML code, but they cannot do it for MediaWiki. Best of wishes / Per
