Lion Is a Quitter

Using TextEditor on Lion is a frustration and exercise in patience. Every time I want to start it and just type a quick note... I have to wait as it's disappeared or it's restoring previous windows. Sometimes it even gets in a weird state where it thinks a document is open, but it's not, so attempting to open it results in TextEdit being given focus, but not opening the document in question.

Lion's TextEdit also takes > 10 seconds to pop up on my brand new mac with an SSD. Fortunately, Snow Leopard's TextEdit.app still works, and is just as snappy as ever, if you still have a copy. Hopefully they'll fix this in the .1 update...

Weird, takes sub-second first time here on my iMac with no SSD.

TextEdit is a developer example that you can just download and build, if necessary. :)

Wow. I would say TextEdit is one of the applications that really shines in Lion.

I can quit it, it saves everything, including my temporary copy/paste buffer, -no questions asked, - and restores everything when I reopen it. Also search is improved and a whole lot more keyboard-friendly. (I'm using a couple of years old MBP, but with SSD.)
