After saying yes to the TextMate update dialog box, the icon changed into a scary jack-o-lantern (seen left) and a window with a spider web. I don't use text editors that much (most of my scripting and text editing happens in a console window), but for notes and modifying existing plain text, it was worth the purchase price. I also love the screencasts, which clue me into some features that make repetitive tasks easier, the most useful so far being the screencast introducing how to use TextMate in conjuction with HTML tags. A day early, at least here in the Pacific time zone, for the easter egg, but still fun.
(Not technically an easter egg, since you usually have to do something for them to happen. But it's the best approximation of what this is.)
And yes, even though I don't really celebrate it—too loud and scary—I still spell the cultural holiday celebrating death with an apostrophe.
