This is very old news, and I don't see which OSX restrictions in particular are involved.
This is a strange article; it's not like any version of TextMate was ever distributed through the app store, so I'm not sure the relevance of app store restrictions.
This is an old article, and it's rubbish anyway. The sandboxing restrictions on App Store downloads are obviously not about "restriction of freedoms" so much as security.
Yeah I just noticed that, sorry, also I thought that it being open sourced was more interesting than the reason why.
Please add (2012) to the link.
I'm sorry didn't noticed it is over a year old I thought a couple of months. I'm unable to change the title as I'm not aloud to do that anymore. I was triggered by the lime editor post to see how the 2.0 version was coming along so I searched and stumbled upon this.
The article is over a year old.

OS X sandboxing has exactly nothing to with the open vs. closed debate. Sounded more like an attempt to shift attention away from the fact that TextMate 2.0 was at least 3+ years late at the time it was abando..i mean open sourced.

It is not abandoned. Just look at the github repo. I get updates for my TextMate 2.0 at least weekly.
