The benefits of porting TextMate would be largely political. It would be something nice to point to and say "yeah, that works."
I looked at the code myself and agree with both of your conclusions. I was disappointed that it didn't just use the "standard" tools since there's a possibility that buildtool might have been able to handle it if it had.
