I've set TextMate to fetch updates and it seems like every time I fire it up there is a new build available. There is also a subversion repository of bundles and plugins that I sync with a couple of times a day and there always seems to be new additions to it on every sync.

The ability to add custom macros or commands makes it feel a little like Emacs or Vim, but without quite as steep a learning curve. Although power users of those two editors are unlikely to switch, I can see TextMate gobbling up much of the market share that once seemed to be BBEdit's birthright.

With TextMate being a fraction of the price of BBEdit, BareBones will need to seriously up their game to justify such a huge difference in price.
