Is our beloved Mac text editor, TextMate, dead? The TM Blog hasn’t updated since the middle of August, 2008.
The latest cutting-edge version is 1.5.8, r1498, and it’s been a while since that’s updated, too.
Has TextMate died, or has it just reached a maturity level where it doesn’t need updates and new features as often? Whatever happened to the fabled TextMate 2.0? Last I read about 2.0 was back in 2006 when Alan mentioned 2.0 would require Leopard. Not even a peep about 2.0.
What’s going on?
Edit: I found a TextMate 2.0 FAQ, which indicates that TM2 was actively being developed, at least towards the end of November 2008. Hopefully we’ll see something in 2009.
