Which text editor do you use to open and edit 100+MB files (on Windows, Linux, OSX)? Which text editor can handle a 100GB text file and has a fast search and replace function?
On Windows notepad.exe, wordpad and notepad++ aren't really prepared for that task. Helpful would be an editor that streams in only a small part of a big text file.
