Maybe it was my configuration, but the reason I switched from vim to emacs, was that I was debugging some large log files that made vim choke. I read a comment praising that behavior and I was surprised to see that it was the case, more so as I was in the belief that emacs had a lot of bloat. Which editor would you consider that is better with large files? Not really interested in switching, but really curious.
