Hundred+ meg JSON files are pretty common these days. A lot data analysis is just "make some JSON and worry about it later" and that I do like to start by pulling into a text editor.

Pulling data in a text editor to look at it has nothing to do with editing it tho. And actuallly wilfully editing hundred+ megs json by hand seems like a near nonexistent use case indeed.

The text editor needs to be able to load large without needing x times more memory than the size of the file.
