FWIW, the author has changed the licensing so that the trial is no longer 30 days (despite what the front page says), instead lasting as long as the program is still in beta.

No folding, no word completion, no adjustable or visual wrap column, no function popup, can't use bold versions of bitmap fonts...and so on. Still, it's early on, and holds promise for some features not in TextMate (like collaboration and document versioning). Now that it's free for you to help improve it, I encourage you (if you want a TextMate-like editor for Windows) to try it out and report bugs and features you desire.
