Atom is fine for many people's usage of it, and it does some interesting things. It is not without merit. But until issues like this go away, I can't consider it. I regularly need to work with text files several hundred megabytes large. Atom cannot handle this usage. And before you say "Well, you're deliberately being difficult"... I am either taking a quick look at big csv files or automatically generated XML files that store configuration information for some of the systems I work on. A 120 MB XML config file isn't unusual.
- patates 11y agoWhat kind of systems are you working on that require 120MB config files? I'm genuinely curious, not asserting anything.
