I think it is less the line count that I have problems with lately than line length. It's quite a specific use case, but I work with geographic data and occasionally deal with absolutely enormous wkb's that can be in the hundreds of thousands of characters. Couple that with writing in Hadoop typically going to one line per JSON representation and now I am regularly opening files to review that consist of a single line of text that might have upwards of 80,000 characters on average. Even beautified it still is problematic. VS code seems to be able to do it reasonably so the software stack cannot be blamed.
