One other thing I love about TextMate: When you click on the "action" button (that little gear at the bottom), the item closest to your mouse is the type you're working with. For example, if you're working in a CSS file, you click on the action button and CSS is right there, not up at the top of the screen. I know it's not much, but it just goes to show how refined this app is.

Wait a minute. I use Espresso Libre, and I don't use tab triggers as much as I'd like to. I usually just forget after doing things The Hard Way for so long. ;)
