Those are all good discussions. I do feel TextMate a bit like a reimagined Emacs. It's really extremely deep / extensible / customizable. I'm a dilettante with TM still though. I wish I had more time to get up to speed with it so I could use it as fast as Emacs with Perl in particular. I do find even touching the mouse when working (as some of the comments in the ORLY article mentioned) to be an annoyance / drag.

A pro about TM I didn't see discussed is that despite its cost to purchase (which is trivial for a tool of its depth/usefulness) it is open-source oriented. They push out updates and accept contributions and such regularly. Oh, also, something that has kept me from being a true power-user of Emacs is I'm Lisp-challenged. I can do some simple stuff but... TM has a bundle-editor which is extremely cool. You can change all your control keys etc, etc, and see the whole stack of bundles together (ActionScript - YAML and all points between). It's really very impressive.
