Hmm. Ask.com says TextMate is a "power editor for the Mac".

What, specifically, does TextMate do that Emacs is not doing at the

I'm not fully following this, but it sounds like a speedbar
customization. I don't see why it's Ada mode specific, but if it is,
it could be packaged with Emacs Ada mode.

If you post your customization here, I'll think about it.
