So Rails/Ruby people apparently love TextMate. Why? Why is it better than, say, vim/Emacs? Before TextMate, there was BBEdit, there's Xcode, there are Mac ports of vim and Emacs, etc. How, then, does TextMate fill a void?
Normally, the UI in programmer tools suck because the users don't care and making a great UI is a ton of work. Why are TM users fussy about the overall feeling of using their editor? Apparently TextMate has functionality for integrating with the command line, akin to Emacs' shell mode (which I have become incredibly dependent on). Yet in the screencasts I've seen of TM users -- e.g., TurboGears, Rails, etc. -- they have a Mac OS X terminal open and switch between TM and their shell. Why?
