+1 for using 1 and missing drawer. Never upgraded to 2 because of the bad press, and because 1.5 is good enough. It chokes on large files - and long lines, so I use vi instead for these.

I really like a few features:

* View your whole project from the root directory: mate .

* Open a bunch of files in arbitrary locations at once: find . -name 'something.' | xargs mate

* Write a script and run it using command-R

* Banging out html using tab complete

* Compared to any IDE it is ridiculously fast.

* I wrote a bundle (for Oracle Databases) that I used for awhile.

Kind of cool stuff.... might be available in other editors but I found 'em for the first time in TM 1.5.
