Really? I have used sublime for years for log files, Atom and other web based editors would just crash. Hard to imagine that JS would be better at handling viewing large text than C++ (which I think the core of Sublime is written in)

Edit: Benchmarks appear to back this up: https://github.com/jhallen/joes-sandbox/tree/master/editor-p...

VScode improved support for handling large files. They don’t even load the whole file in buffer. Load and syntax highlight as you scroll. Pretty smart approach.

Visual Studio Code's performance is impressive versus Atom. However, there's always room for improvement and I really hope with the Github acquisition that this next generation Atom project is incorporated: https://github.com/atom/xray

VSCode has a problem when lines have many columns, you are unable to view the end, it can copy them to the clipboard though. I have to wrap when I want to see to the end.
