About a month ago, I blogged about trying TextMate as my text editor of choice. After almost a month, I’ve gone ahead and purchased a license for TextMate and I’m sticking with it.
I’m still convinced that I’m not even scratching the surface of this application’s functionality, but I like the way TextMate works. I have a few minor UI quibbles (I’d rather see a HUD-style overlay instead of the yellow “tool tip” look for word count, for example), but overall I’m happy with the application.
If there any readers out there who use TextMate primarily for technical writing and not development, I’d love to hear your feedback, including suggestions for additional bundles or plug-ins that you find helpful.

I use it everyday.
Just about anything that you do not like, can be resolved if you understand the snippets/language grammar/etc
Also, for anything that you think a shell script or application would solve better, try this. ??R
You have several options for the output of the command. Say you’re running “wc” against the document, tooltip or output would work. ?Z if you don’t want to keep the output… anyway, its great.
