Q: Why does TextEdit now open to a Open Dialogue and NOT a new window?
This page is wrong: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2523?viewlocale=en_US&locale=en_US
Step #1 of the page about TetEdit is no longer true! Now when I open TextEdit I get an Open File dialogue instead of a New Document. WHY?!?!?! $%@%#^@&&@^#^
It is a pain in the butt to have to hit New Document every time when a new blank document used to just appear the second you opened TextEdit.
Another stupid "improvement?"
MacPro / MacAir, Mac OS X (10.5.4), everything Apple sells

It's because you've enabled iCloud and that's triggered TextEdit to start with this new open dialog.
