Uses for TextEdit? Its a very simple, yet powerful enough text editor,
for typing texts, for magazines, for letters. 99% of The People have no
need for such sluggish multipurpose commiteeware such as Word. In The
Olden Days we had WriteNow, which came as far as 3.0. The present
owners won’t release it so The Hackers can port it to OSX, which is a
pity. Guess I should petition for it to be on the Release Abandonware
list on LEM. Anyway, there is MarinerWrite. Payware, but good stuff,
opens & writes Word files w/o too much trouble.
Word? I ONLY use it to open Word docs I get sent on mali, & sending
back certain files that HAS to be Word cause the sender uses it.
TextEdit is fine for text editing. For program editing (codes & such)
that requires exact knowledge of CR-LF pairs & such, use BBedit. Thats
what BBedit is for.

I use textedit a lot and have only one big complaint: if you write html
in it, it will insist on opening the file rendered as a browser would,
even if you try to get it to convert to text mode. In general I use
emacs anyway but for students it's a problem not to have, as part of the
standard programs, a real text editor.
