Editors at War

TextMate has got some attention recently for its Halloween easter egg, mostly, but not solely, positive. (See this TUAW post and this post from the TextMate Blog.) This was reflected in the change-log removing the holiday stylings that some consider to be the Best. Change-Log. Ever.:
