After an entirely-too-long absence, TextMate developer Allan Odgaard posted yesterday on the TM blog that he is working on TextMate 2.0 (in fact, rewriting it from the ground up), and that its release is on the horizon, though admittedly not soon.
It’s nice to know it’s not fated to become abandonware. For me, TextMate is an indispensable part of my day; it’s one of the apps that I always have open, right along with Mail and Safari and Finder. I’m very relieved to hear that arguably my most frequently used app will have a future.
