I think most people underestimate TextEdit as just another SimpleText/TeachText. If you take into account the fact that it uses Rich Text Format, has a spell checker, rulers, tabs, and can contain pictures, you'll find this is actually one hell of a low-end word processor. I also use it to edit my web site, because it has that built in spell checker. TextEdit goes greatly unnappreciated. I think I shall be the founding member of the "TextEdit Fan Club." Join me!
