Ironically, the last time I checked (which was some number of years ago), TextMate 2.0 did not support the TextMate 1.x theme format, not even via any sort of import or conversion mechanism. Which is odd, considering that it's become a de facto standard supported by other editors.

TextMate 1.x was the king of Mac text editors back in its day. Is anyone actually still using TextMate today?

I’m amazed I can’t remember whether I converted my custom TextMate theme when I started using 2.0! I also wish I’d realized the vivid colors in the theme (I called it “acid skittles”) were appealing to me for contrast, not their range of color spectrum.

I don’t use TextMate anymore but I surely would have stuck with it longer if it had a debugger and language server. I panned all of the non-native editors that came between, but sadly had to admit that VSCode fit my workflow a lot better.
