That's wrong, sorry. Try opening hugedictionary.json in these editors and you'll see the effect.I was thinking of much smaller files that Emacs chokes on but e.g. vim does not.
Surely, different editors have different limits. My aim was to set the limit as high as possible for Emacs. As far as I can tell the only limit is now RAM. I just tried:
for I in $(seq 1 600); do cat dictionary.json; done > monsterdictionary.jsonwhich produces a file with a single 11GB (!) long line, and you can edit it almost as it it were a 1KB file with Emacs.
That being said, my main point here was that all editors disable non-essential features when they open "big" files, for some definition of "big". Both VS Code and Atom (silently) disable most highlighting even for the 300KB long-line.xml file (only "short" lines are highlighted), and (silently) disable all highlighting for the 19MB dictionary.json file.
