Vim. But I'm a little bit confused when using vim with big file, it's getting slow. It'd be great if any of you guys already have the solution

I had a similar problem with editing large files with vim on terminal.

I switched to using iTerm2 and the heavy input lag disappeared

Might be your term if its slow vim will be slower... For example Osx terminal.app is slow...

This slowness could also be due to keeping a swap/backup file. Maybe try switching that off.

For that poster above, I've never understood the appeal of gvim or macvim, I am very happy with vim in a console (with tmux.) Perhaps there are some plugins that work better under (mac|g)vim.
