I love TextMate and use it daily. But there are many features I am still missing. I am sad there were no updates for such a long time.

I really wish there would be some competition to heat things up. I am not talking about emacs or vi, but another great visual editor for OS X. Maybe Open Source... or maybe a startup could do this. There should be quite some money to be earned.

Or is there something comparable to TextMate that I don't know about?

Some rubyists are trying with red car http://redcareditor.com/ but it's still quite a ways off from being usable.

Sublime Text (www.sublimetext.com) could theoretically be ported over to Linux and Windows as it's GUI is all OpenGL and C interfacing with python. The author's original intent was that it be portable between platforms, but he seems to have pushed that idea to the side. He's no longer working on it full-time either. Which is a shame because it's quite good and comparable to TextMate in many ways.

I think BBEdit qualifies and has been around forever. Never used it myself.
