Whatever you make the default is the most used. It would be better for

Maybe they intentionally made the default to be what more people
want to use. When I use an app for the first time, I always open
the preferences, see what is available and immediately change any
that I know I am going to want. So my TextEdit has always been
for editing TEXT not all sorts of fonts and images.

But considering the inexplicable popularity of $%&*%#$%%^#
HTML e-mail, it wouldn't surprise me to hear that more people
prefer TextEdit's default.

People who don't care and who impose inappropriately formed data on
others should not be considered when deciding the defaults of a program.
That's what MS do and it sucks. If plain text was the default then we'd
have less of this crap to contend with.
