In search of a robust text editor to handle huge XML files, specifically those over 100MB, I’ve encountered significant performance issues with common editors. Sublime Text, Notepad++, and even VS Code struggle at times. I require an editor that doesn’t just crash or freeze when trying to open or search through large files. Syntax highlighting would be a plus, but stability and speed are paramount. Does anyone have any recommendations based on their own experience with exceptionally large files?

For gargantuan files, you may want to consider using Vim or Emacs. They are both extremely powerful and efficient when dealing with large texts. Vim, in particular, is known for its low memory footprint and speed. You said you need to look through a large XML file; if you're comfortable with the command line, you might even consider using tools specifically designed for parsing XML. For instance, `xmlstarlet` or similar command-line tools can be quite effective.
