Color me skeptical. Progress on this app has been embarrassing. If you want to keep up with Textmate (which seems all but dead), you have to do a little bit better than this.

We can actually download and run a beta of Espresso 2—very different from the mythical TextMate 2. MacRabbit appears to be ready for Mac OS X 10.7 “Lion”—TextMate, not so much.

Sublime Edit should be the new "standard" to keep up with (not Textmate, that's turned into a joke)
I cant quite see whats so special about sublime edit. Care to share?

Its a ton of little things that add up, mostly speed though. For example, a project-wide search in Sublime doesn't block the UI thread, Cmd + T works like a dream (much better than TM), etc.
The list goes on and on, its just much more well executed than TM.
Thanks for the reply. I can agree on the cmd-t thing. I'm not tied to TM but I do like the details it implements and it's usually not slow for me (granted, I can see the problem for some cases). I have been watching Vico pretty closely though and it's top of the candidates for me right now.
Sublime 2 looks nice but I couldn't get passed all the quirky settings I had to go through (in different places too) to get anything close to what I wanted. I'm still looking for more good reasons to invest the time to set it up is all.
