Which brings us to the last and possibly greatest point: As long as you own a Mac, TextEdit is completely free.

   Is TextEdit a good program?

   • TextEdit is included with OS X. You can change it to Plain Text ( Format > Make Plain Text) for non-RTF text editing, or make Plain Text the default ( Preferences > Format ).

   Why should you use a text editor?

   • The obvious, practical reasons for using a text editor are straightforward, but important.
