The Mac doesn't come with a word processor. It comes with a text
editor. I believe that in this day and age, TextEdit is categorized
under text editor, not really word processor. People consider word
processors to be programs that can arrange type faces and provide
basic layout. TextEdit in RTF mode can do some of this, but just look
at Word, Pages, etc. That's what the public would consider today to be
a word processor. Otherwise, you could call nano at the command line a
word processor. I remember the old Apple IIe and AppleWorks. The thing
was easily just a text editor by today's standards, but would have
been considered a word processor back in the day.
