Sublime Text 2 (its first cross-platform version) came on the scene around that time and I think drew away a lot of the crowd that had been waiting for TextMate 2.
Textmate 2.0 got open-sourced https://github.com/textmate/textmate but it looks pretty much abandoned/finished.
https://github.com/CodeEditApp/CodeEdit
Looks promising for you MacOS users.

TM 2 was great, albeit somewhat abandoned, until Apple Silicon came along. There’s some sort of bug in the app that makes it regularly hang on launch on my M1 and M1 Max laptops.

Works fine on both my M1 machines, never seen this happen once. Maybe try a fresh install and transitioning over your settings bit by bit.
You don't get the SPOD at startup while it tries to replay every FSEvent that's ever happened?
Seriously, if that could get fixed, I'd still use TM, it's my favorite editor. But I can't even look at the sources because they're GPL3.

Why does GPLv3 stop you from looking at the source?
Employer policy most likely

>How is TextMate doing these days?
Use it as my main editor still, absolutely love it. Still gets updated a few times a year. Just find it more snappier to work with than webtech based editors and the shortcuts and workflows are all more native on MacOS than VSCode. Also a big fan of the mixed font/size/styling when working with Markdown docs.
How is TextMate doing these days? I know they spent forever for TextMate 2.0, and that somehow fizzled out...?
