When I was actively developing my text editor my favorite test file was made by concatenating all .c, .h and .S files from Linux kernel, which at the time made it a 542MB file with almost 20M lines. It was funny to see how some editors struggled with it.

At $WORKPLACE I'm unfortunately required to use Visual Studio because the project won't work with anything else, and there's some specific file types (I think it's the ASAX files) that make VS hang for several seconds, where the code is literally uneditable (can't scroll, there's no syntax highlighting, and more weird stuff I'm surely forgetting). On a bad day, those files don't even get line numbers because the whole left-side gutter is missing, and I'm not even joking. I'm already looking to change jobs for one where the project isn't that horribly tied to a specific IDE.
