On: TextMate 2 is not Open Source

That's what's awesome about free software, last time I checked noone is hitting you with a stick until you do.

It comes off pretty arrogant suggesting that sniping a few bugs or features is comparable to the initial investment to write the suite. I daresay if you contributed a ton to the core it would be provided gratis to you.

Use it. Don't. Whatever.

I'm not arguing about use the product or not, but about the developing/marketing model... I didn't contribute to TM2 and I'm not going to, I'm wondering if anybody else is going to contribute at this point...

Why wouldn't they? If you've paid for something isn't that _more_ incentive to make it badass?

I pay for products/services/whatever when I have no time/competences/will to make them myself.
