In general, yes. The key thing there is that, no matter what happens to TextMate in the future, I can use the current version. Contrast with, say, the recent kerfluffle with Ubisoft introducing a "DRM" scheme whereby, if their servers go down, the program you ALREADY HAVE stops working. In that case, it's certainly quite reasonable to be concerned. The key thing to evaluate is what happens to you in the case where things go "poof". If the guy selling TextMate goes away tomorrow, I still have an editor that does a bunch of stuff pretty well and which I find basically friendly. I can live with that. -s -- Copyright 2010, all wrongs reversed.
