Though it is not too much to ask for to be able to edit large files. 30MB should easily fit in memory, even with metadata like syntax highlighting. And if it really doesn't fit, only load a portion of the file into memory (maybe scan the whole file for newlines once) - that was a solved problem already 20 years ago.

As to why I'm opening such large files: It's not like I chose to do so, but sometimes I have to. It's great to be able to (in Sublime) `<Ctrl+P> log <Ctrl+F> blah` and see immediately what I'm looking for without switching to another tool. I even have a simple syntax highlighting definition for my log file that makes it really nice.

I'd really like to like Atom, but the fundamental problem is that it tries to emulate a text editor widget in a web browser. That works, but creates a certain amount of latency that I can't work with. It's really irritating.
