That's true for code editing, but it's nice to not have to reach for a different solution when editing huge files. Sometimes I like to open up big log files, JSON test data, etc.

Do you actually edit big log files?

I interactively pare down log files to just the parts I need. I rarely save the result

I am always surprised even vim chokes on files with one massive line. That could be a useful optimization too.
