Exactly.

If TextMate is the tool that works for you (and you can try it out for
30 days) and makes you more productive and more comfortable at your
job, not willing to spend $50 is just foolish to say the least. I
bought a license with my own money, not one that the company I work
for paid, simply because it''s a very good tool and I didn''t
enjoy the
other ones I tried (and I tried a lot of them). If you''re going to
develop Rails apps and get paid for it, not willing to spend $50 on a
productivity tool... what are you thinking?
