Really? I have used sublime for years for log files, Atom and other web based editors would just crash. Hard to imagine that JS would be better at handling viewing large text than C++ (which I think the core of Sublime is written in)

Edit: Benchmarks appear to back this up: https://github.com/jhallen/joes-sandbox/tree/master/editor-p...




VScode improved support for handling large files. They don’t even load the whole file in buffer. Load and syntax highlight as you scroll. Pretty smart approach.
