I agree completely with this. In my job, I need to open up a lot of CSV files ranging from several MB to hundreds.

Sublime Text, whilst not perfect is far better than anything else out there. It doesn't struggle with these files either.

Except on Windows it does struggle, a lot, and others like Notepad++ open large files way faster.

Just checked it again: a 20MB matlab m-file opens instantly in NPP however it takes ST3 about half a minute. Half a minute, seriously? After renaming it to txt to get rid of syntax parsing it takes like a second. Which is still longer than NPP and starts to get seriously annoying with files of hundreds of MB.

Still, it's my go-to editor.

vim would open multi-hundred megabyte files in seconds, if only you can invest in learning its modal editing mechanism (which, to be fair, is fairly arcane, and is proven to be a worse UI than free form editing).

Proven? Where?
