Techopedia Explains SimpleText
As one of the various Mac OS text editors, SimpleText was a somewhat primitive text editor compared to successive tools used in today’s digital world. One apt comparison would be to Microsoft’s WordPad text editor, a generic and simple plain text editor that is still used, but only generally for specific low-level purposes, since other more robust word processing programs are common.
