  Only use emacs, not epsilon, but someone above mentioned that it can handle long lines. Emacs, despite being a good editor, is not performant in such cases.

    You can do some optmizations to Emacs line handling. emacs -nw can help, I think. But by the time you've really hit Emacs' limit, you should have split your line anyway. And there is always nano, for the truly desparate.

      How does "-nw" help with long lines?
      • qwertyuiop924 10y ago
        Apparently, one of the scans is for glyph height. In -nw, your font's monospaced. If emacs is smart enough to drop the check, it should be slightly faster.
