Hello, The main limitation with TextEdit is that it does not support the use of headers and footers (for example for use with resumes, cover letters, academic papers, memos, etc). TextEdit also does not allow for the use of templates as far as I know, so you could not create your own template or use an existing template.
TextEdit does allow you to observe all of the visual formatting such as bold, underlining, etc, where as VoiceOver does not announce these features in Pages. I regularly use both applications so as to take advantage of all features.
