Seriously? That's why there are different kinds of Undo for different key combinations in serious text editors.

Yes, seriously. It's a personal preference. Is the second part of your comment intended to imply TextMate isn't a serious text editor?

Yes, that's my general viewpoint.

TM is just something "good enough" for people not wanting to go full on to either Vim/Emacs or an IDE. People one would call "newbies" back in the day.

That sounds awfully like something someone would say if they were trolling. I'm going to assume you weren't.

There are many things I've found I like in TextMate that Vim can't do - character-by-character undo, for example.
