I too appreciate a number of TextMate's capabilities, but there are  
several dealbreakers for me (YMMV of course):

* No preview-latex
* No support for editing remote files (ange-ftp, tramp)
* No support for multiple views into the same buffer!

I really don't know how anyone can write/code effectively without the  
last of those.  And since you're a Mac user, have you tried using  
Aquamacs Emacs and/or Enrico Franconi's ECE plugin (http:// 
www.inf.unibz.it/~franconi/enhanced-carbon-emacs)?
