It seems like some people have created VLF-like packages for Atom that employ similar workarounds to emacs for large files. This tickles me, but I assume long term this'll be solved more fundamentally. I personally never cared much about emacs' similarly slow loading times, and don't see much of an issue with a modern editor taking time to start up. I'm happy just never quitting emacs on any of my machines, but it does mean you need something that interacts with sudo (i.e. tramp in emacs) to make quick edits to config files etc.
