Wealthy ass text files

    Today I was using TextEdit on my Mac mini to learn all its features, and you can apparently add images. It’s super limited, though, since you can’t resize them or really move them at all. By default, any document you create is saved as an “rtf” file, which is essentially a text file that contains formatting like fonts, sizing, and color. However, once you add images, it becomes an “rtfd” file… I’ve never seen that. It’s pretty much specific to mac, and has a very limited selection of apps that can open it. But why? If you were going through the effort of adding color and images to your text file, why not use something more advanced like Word, Pages, or Google Docs? TextEdit has very limited options anyway. You can’t even resize the images, and your formatting options go about as far as adding color and making the text bigger. So now I look at “rtfd” as a wealthy ass text file, since it's a rich text file with a bit more money (images) added.
    I can see the appeal, though. As crazy as it sounds, the TextEdit doesn’t include any page breaks, so it’s kind of like using pageless mode on Google Docs (or like a plain txt file). In a way, that’s better than other word processing apps, since page breaks can be annoying. If you really desire a long running, huge document, then this might be a good option. You can even export the doc as a PDF.
    So the TL;DR is… TextEdit is probably best used as a tool for quick notes.
