Actually, that's how I did in fact read Jonas Hartmann's wishful thinking=

E-TextEditor is not a port, but it's not even a Windows "version" of
TextMate for any possible interpretation of the word. It's a completely
distinct product that just happens to have support of TextMate bundles
(whatevertheheck those are) as one of its features (which strikes me as
an odd, but apparently effective marketing move), and maybe shares some
design aims. This product is not relevant to this discussion.

Actually, since the benefit a commercial software company would want to
gain from such a massive body of work would be getting more customers /
sales, a set of dependencies that's more portable and less likely to
alienate users (because of the desktop wars) would indeed make sense.
But that's already going into the realm of setting up pretty straw men.
