Most of us only use one text editor at a time. Finder changes the default for a given filetype, but who wants to change it for.html,.htm,.sh,.py,.txt,.css,.conf,.prod-conf,.staging-conf,.dev-conf (or whatever other developers on a team might call certain configuration files),.md,.gitconfig. The list is endless. TextEdit is a HORRIBLE text editor. Sweeping changes are good when it replaces that CRAP software that defaults to rich text, which may break something if you open/save with it because you haven't yet marked this filetype using Finder. – Mar 15 '14 at 21:49 •.

To change the default text editor across the board, use the aforementioned method (i.e., 'Get Info' → 'Open with:' → (editor of choice) → 'Change All') on.txt files. Then it will be used as the default editor for any text-based file that doesn't yet have an application preference for its extension.

For instance, if you use the terminal, the command open -t will use your preferred text editor, which is whatever application is associated with.txt files. By default this is (you guessed it) TextEdit, unless you explicitly specify otherwise. Internet booster and optimizer for mac os x.
