Everyone who attended RubyConf '04 already got a sneak peak at this, but now it's finally here for the mere mortals as well. We've released TextMate 1.0. It's a code and markup editor for OS X that ships with syntax highlighting and other goodies for Ruby (and Rails).
Many thanks to all the folks at RubyConf that offered suggestions. Especially thanks to Rich Killmer who hacked a bit on the syntax highlighting file and got interpolated strings and regexps to look even nicer. He was also the first to buy a license and hereby test the infrastructure. Thanks a bunch, mate!

I'll confess that I'm a die hard BBEdit user and it would take a LOT to make me switch, but...
I did download your application and poked around a little. I was quite surprised. You have some very attractive features in there and a lot of them especially for a 1.0 release. Folding and the auto-complete were both very attractive to me. My compliments. I'll keep an eye on this editor...

So that's what that regex thread was all about! 
Congrats on what looks like a pretty slick product. I'd bite if I had a Mac.
I had high expectations for TextMate (partly due to David's over-hyping
machine :p) and as expected, I am *seriously* disapointed by this 1.0.
Yeah, it's a 1.0, but it absolutely does *not* live up the hype. It has
some great potential however, and would it be opensource that I'd
already be hacking it all over the place. But it's not, so all I can do
is send my rants to Allan and David and pay the registration fee to
support their work.
