A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

Are or were you able to compare it to SublimeText and UltraEdit by chance?
Good to know, because UltraEdit has been my goto editor for large files so far. Especially large "single line" files (length delimited data files for example). So I probably don't need to look for an alternative then.
Btw Sublime is cross platform. Even the license is cross platform. Buy once and use on every Windows, Linux and Mac machine you use. I find it much much snappier than VScode. But for large files it can't beat UE (and therefore emeditor). But for most editing tasks the UX beats the rest, IMO.
Have you tried Geany, by any chance? I recall it being pretty quick back in the days of single-core machines being the norm, but I'm curious how it stacks up now in terms of snappiness.
In dealing with large files or in general?
