TextEdit on macOS is this fast when set to plain text and not reopening previous windows. The entire app is 2.6mb.
Launching with rich text as the default is a bit slower. But hey, rich text.

- kayodelycaon 5y agoSublime Text wasn’t as fast to launch on my 12” MacBook (RIP), which is why didn’t mention it. TextEdit still pretty much instant. On my intel 16”, Sublime Text 4 is amazingly fast, even with a dozen medium-to-large rails apps open.

- perryizgr8 5y ago> TextEdit on macOS is this fast when set to plain text Not for me. Opening textedit on macbook 13, with plaintext mode takes noticeable time to animate the window before I can start typing. Opening notepad.exe on Win11 is instant. The window is on-screen and ready to take input, before my finger has lifted off the enter key. Not to mention the silly bugs and lack of attention to detail. Open a new file. Don't type anything, it will prompt you to save the file on close. Why?
