Hi Jerome,
does your comment refer to "it cannot get simpler"? I agree that
Textmate is an extremely nice editor. I have, in fact, switched to
using it a couple of months ago. I just did not understand why the
original poster has the impression that he should be "using TeXShop
later", implying that it is something more complex ...
