Thank you so much for doing this. There's been a recurring theme with text editors on OS X and I'm glad you've avoided it.
A new editor comes out, it's a great editor, but it's closed-source and costs money. People are fine with paying money, so it thrives. Eventually, the developer(s) slow down or lose interest. Maybe they're working on a rewrite. Meanwhile, bug fixes don't happen. Promised features never show up. You end up with a community of developers using a piece of abandonware as their main editor. If they had the source code, they could improve their editor. But they don't so they can't.
I doubt he'll do it, but it'd be nice if Allan Odgaard took a hint from you and released the source for TextMate 1.5.
