Op here, I absolutely agree on the log file issue. But also believe that people underestimate the size of files. Yes, code is rarely that big, but you don't want your editor crawling, because you open some tool or languages build log by mistake. I remember some guys in the #vim irc channel a couple years back discussing an editor that used ropes in the text store. I believe they said using lua, and that it's really performant. I don't know what happened to that, but for some reason I always thought that it eventually turned into sublime, but I've never really used sublime besides basic usage, so I can't really comment on its performance. The irony is that I remember people complaining about how slow vim is for large files. Nowadays compared to the alternatives it seems to be blazing fast.
