This is good to hear, I usually use VI to open anything > 2 GB. A modern UI that doesn’t hang or crash on those files would be nice.

It really is good and you can actually have multiple large files loaded into it. Not sure how it manages that but very very good.

Just to give you some info, I just opened a csv that's 3.5 GB and has about 1.6 million rows. It took about 30-40 seconds to load nad it's only using 215 MB of ram. I have managed to crash it a few times but I think it's understandable considering the huge amount of data it's dealing with.
