I am curious which editors pass this test, as pretty much everything I have tried chokes on long lines, even things like nano, vim, Sublime Text…

It's still disappointing, and I'd totally understand if someone wanted to fix this.

I think the pagers - less - is somewhat ok with long lines? Not much else that deals gracefully with multi megabyte lines.

I finally stopped on Windows EditPad, but it's shareware and its UI is somewhat weird, so I won't recommend it for everyone, but as a general text editor, it works for me.
Emacs has made some major improvements with long lines in master, and some of that will come out with 27.
I read the previous comment as sarcasm...
