Sublime Text 4

Sublime Text is legendary for its speed and "Goto Anything" (Cmd+P) interface. Even in 2025, it remains the fastest GUI editor for opening massive files.

When to Use

• Large Files: Opening a 500MB SQL dump? VS Code chokes. Sublime opens it instantly.
• Regex: Multi-cursor + Regex find/replace workflow is unparalleled.
• Minimalism: Distraction-free coding without 50 sidebars.
