I am having the same problem. The plugin doesn't load and it's not listed in the Plugins menu or in the Configure Plugins menu. This is with LC 6.6, and yes I did restart LC after installing it.
I opened the plugin manually from the File Open menu and set it up to use the OSX Textmate editor. I haven't experienced the performance issues with the IDE script editor that others have mentioned but I see a lot of features in Textmate that I really like, code folding for example. It would of course be better if this was all built into the IDE script editor but this is a great substitute until that happens.
