I really like this editor. I gave it 5 stars. But this is a valid criticism. On a system that lacks textmate, if you navigate to a directory in your $PATH, and open that directory in the finder and double-click an executable, the executable runs (this even includes X11 executables if you have installed X11.app). This is the default system behavior. I never make use of it, but it is the default behavior.
Now install Textmate.
After installing textmate, textmate will attempt to open files in $PATH, even binary ones! So it changes the default behavior of the system.
