It seems that my dear friend, Alex Argo (And yes, his sites have been like this for months… that “lazy bum”…), was gracious enough to think I needed TextMate, and got it for me for Christmas. I’m very thankful that he knew for a fact that I would love and hate this app to death. I would love it because it’s yet another amazing mac application. I would hate it because it was… indeed… yet another amazing mac application.
Too many good things to write about… I don’t have to mess with it. It just works. And isn’t it funny how that’s the mantra for all things mac? It’s deceptively simple. All these amazing functionality is only a keystroke away. I love how the projects are handled as a loose grouping of files, and most likely all the metadata for that project exists in the single project file that TextMate creates.
It’s kind of like learning Rails… and even Quicksilver. I’m almost sure that TextMate will make my life easier. I know this. It’s just the amount of work I need to do to get to that status of being able to use the tools fully. There will be much reading on what the shortcut keys are… what the best way to go about development PHP applications… With Quicksilver, I think there was a period of a couple of hours where I just sat there, blinking in amazement as to how amazing this program was. Then there were all those screencasts… blog entires… just a lot of time spent in realizing what I could do with it. Now, I want to go make those screencasts and blog entries to share with the world of the joy Quicksilver has brought to me.
Will Textmate make me want to do the same?
