That's not the case here, but there are circumstances when you cannot  
use TextEdit and you must use pico (or nano): when you need to edit a  
file with root ownership.

Even if you can use sudo to force TextEdit to open a write-protected  
file:

sudo open -e somefile.txt

then TextEdit won't be able to save the file at the end of the  
process. By contrast:

sudo pico somefile.txt

will not only open the file but also allow you to save the modified  
file afterwards.
