IMO, you have to twiddle exactly one preference, exactly once, to make TextEdit a workable plaintext editor. In TextEdit -> Preferences..., select the "Plain text" radio button. New documents are created as plain text now.

This was super fun to decipher! 1. The first time through this giant ternary defines 9 different small subroutines. Each subroutine can consider the value of "x" to be their argument. X is used as an index into the jmp_buf (subr
