That is true, but we don't have something like this peep open style, with a nice mac feel to it. Or am I missing one? I like this polished style instead of a fully integrated version in emacs.
Yes, but features like ackMate, projectDrawer and visual style make me use Textmate quite a lot (for Ruby dev), which is a pitty because I'm used to my emacs shortcuts. I know most (all?) features are implemented in Emacs, but often in a more spartan way.
Trust me, I have been tinkering a lot with Emacs lisp, and I really miss some nice visual features. Spend some time tinkering with Textmate and see what I mean ;)
I am all for leaving the mouse alone and efficiency, but working on a mac makes me a sucker for eye candy as well. Take for instance again peep open, which is in my opinion a nicely styled plugin, for which I would love to see a 'find in project' equivalent.
I am an experienced TextMate user, and when I went back to using Emacs after a hiatus with TextMate, one of the first things I did was import everything I liked about TextMate into Emacs.
Instead of telling me it exists, please show me a visually appealing 'find in project' plugin/package. Which got this whole discussion started in the first place...
