> The only feature I miss from all other editors is the incredible speed of Sublime Text: to this day, if I ever have to edit an SQL dump (which I hope I will never ever have to do again), I'm surely reaching for Sublime Text, no other editor can AFAIK open a 200+MB file without freezing and/or crashing.

I just tried opening a 1.1GB SQL dump in vim. It took 11 seconds or so to open. That was pretty slow, but after it opened, it was pretty fluid. I could jump to the end or the middle of the file in an instant and move around like it was nothing.

EDIT: I just grew it to 10GB, and though it took longer to open, vim still works fluidly after it does. Saving the file does take about a minute or two, though.

I was surprised to find that ex wasn't able to open the 1.1GB file. It returns an error actually saying that the file is too large. Since feedback is very minimal, I would have expected it to work by loading the file incrementally in a small buffer like less does without even worrying about the whole thing at the start (no displaying total number of lines, etc.).

ed was able to open the 1.1GB file, but not the 10G one. It returns an error saying that there is no space left on device. I imagine it refers to RAM. That's pretty disappointing.
