I never get asked. It’s obvious. Just open a 4Gb log file as a developer.

All my developers have it.

I only keep sublime text around for opening +500mb dumps, everything else was moved to vscode years ago.

Anything more than 500mb and I switch to less for instant reading/searching and sed for instant find/replace.

VSCode is just as fast for opening 4 GB log files

>>noname+B5
Vim is not slower!

>>tasuki+ia
I agree and I do use Vim for all quick edits I need. Just wanted to challenge the idea that Sublime Text was better than alternatives in the space of GUI text editors

>>noname+B5
It is not just about the opening, it is about the searching. Vim is fantastique, although VSCode got faster over time too. Grep is fantastic too (I am not trying to out-hardcore here ... I mean specifically for log file searching not actual coding!). Splunk is better though, but sometimes you are local, and sometimes you don't have a few mill to burn.

Absolutely. I actually just made my own syntax for highlighting the log files in Laravel (Monolog): https://github.com/james2doyle/sublime-log-syntax
