Not true, TextEdit is exactly this, it’s just not the default. One checkbox in preferences activates plaintext mode for all new files.


haha, after using OS X since the beginning, i have never even looked for this. after the first time of realizing it was rich text like WordPad and not a text editor Notepad, I never even attempted to use it for anything text related. better app options were available for pure text anyways. BBEdit was my gold standard in the way back days.
