I usually try to keep my source files and config files smaller than a few hundred megabytes. Sounds like you might need more specialized tools for your unusual approach to editing source code.

A good code editor should let you inspect that 800MB XML file your customer sent you.

Back in the days before I learned about vim, Textmate was the choice for editing huge data files.

Didn't ever understand people who used it for the things Notepad++ could do back then though.
