All you have to do is a "Show Info" on a text file and switch
the default to what ever you like in the "Open with Application"
panel.
Yes, I did that several months ago. It's not a question about
practicalities. I'm still curious as to why a huge powerful, complex
esoteric development tool would be the default application for
something as
ubiquitous, slight and harmless as TEXT. Maybe PB existed first, before
anything else? (Did they use Project Builder to build TextEdit,
maybe?) It
seems so anomalous and peculiar. I'm just curious. If anyone
knows, please
tell us.
FWIW, when I first installed OS X (March 24, 2001), I didn't
install Developer Tools. Text Edit was the default editor for
text. Also Text Edit couldn't handle SimpleText files and a
double click on one of them would launch into Classic.
