Let's find the best text editor for opening large multi-gigabyte files by testing a few of the most popular text editors on macOS!

These tests were done on a 2018 mac mini i7, 32GB RAM.

It's been a few weeks since I've been able to get a video out due to work and some recording issues. This is about the 4th attempt on this video, and even though it's not up to the quality I was after, I HAD to get it out.

I think for future content I'll record myself and screen separately rather than trying to do it all with OBS.

I know I missed out on Visual Studio. I did test it, but it performed about as well as Atom.

I also wrote a quick article on this test with a table of all results that you can find here:
