If it's over 1 GB and single line you're almost always going to exit the editor, run some scripts on it, and open it again when it's correctly formatted.

I would rather open it in editor, strike a "reformat all" shortcut, and have the file right there.

I don't want to chase separate tools that can format different text files, that's what editors are for.

It's still annoying if your editor hangs and you have to find some way to kill it before your computer becomes usable again.
