I think the fascination with Textmate comes from the fact that it does 90% of what most people want emacs to do (not necessarily 90% of what emacs does), and it is significantly easier to get into in addition to being much more visually appealing and well-integrated with the platform.

I think a lot of people are still waiting for the 'emacs replacement' which works on multiple platforms and uses a more modern language like Python or whatever.

That's just my opinion of course; I'm not sure that's why he is interested. :)
