Last time I had to edit a huge file vim failed and vscode succeeded. Is there some special mode you need to be in while using vim on huge files?

disable syntax highlighting.

Sublime can do that. I bet intellij could pull it off if you had sufficient ram which you probably do if your editing 10 gb files

sed, perl? I don't know why you would ever need to load a 10 gig file to memory.

Vim doesn't load it all into memory. Sed and perl means you are writing a program to deal with it. I already have a program that can deal with it.
