What makes it a poor text editor, or qualifies it as being "dated"?

Things like a blog post in late 2006 promising support for something I've wanted in the app without hacks in TM 2.0. Now that I think about how that's almost half a decade ago, I'm feeling even more jaded than usual about TM 2.0's existence.

The first comment on that post is, almost five years later, sadly hilarious.

    "I am 90% decided on switching to CoreText for text rendering (and making 2.0 Leopard only)…"

    Hooo… what a clever idea. I wonder how many license renewals you'll miss. One at the very minimum.
I wonder if the comment's author is, at this exact moment, installing Lion on their current Mac.
