This. Text editor can't handle openning log file. (no need to highlight anything, complete anything, scan the structure etc. Just show me the damn log!)

With the latest updates they are now able to open files up to 10Mb, wow.

Is this a case of a more specialized tool (with fewer but more focused features)? For example, you can view email in vim, and I'm sure you'd get better performance than Gmail for large emails but very few developers I know use vim for that.
