Allan gave his version of a reply to your question

12:53 allan: really, only shell and TextMate care about PATH so whether you set it locally for each of the two apps or globally makes little difference and in a shell context editing .profile is probably easier plus does not require re-login to have changes take effect also, in .profile you can have “code”. e.g. you can add to your PATH, conditionally set something etc. where environment.plist is 100% declarative

BTW, you should definitely write on the IRC channel where you found it in the docs, and perhaps propose a better wording. Adressing the incorrect parts will eventually make this a better world :)

Thanks for this post. Setting the PATH in TM’s preferences is easy enough, but I also don’t understand why it’s not reading my .bash_profile. The docs seem to indicate it should, and I actually had it working yesterday. But I came in this morning and TM wasn’t seeing it anymore.

BTW… IRC and the clients I briefly tried had a big barrier of getting started. So I ended up using the web-based client Mibbit, which I was able to use immediately
