I'm an Emacs user and fan and I've been starting to use TextMate a bit more. I see it as a sort of candy coated Emacs; in a good way. Emacs has more corners to explore than probably any other editor in the world but sometimes a simple popup menu that goes with the mode you'll only use now and then is better than having the complete range of possibilities tied to short-cuts, customizations, and key-completions. TextMate bundles, I think they're called, are also getting more and more specific. A couple of the JavaScript libraries have them, for example. Not to dissuade, because Emacs (and vim) is pretty much always going to be there wherever you get stuck having to work on something, but I could see myself moving entirely to TextMate for home hacking over the next year or so.
