@jws I've opened ridiculously big files with ST which failed with other editors, I've pimped it up with awesome plugins (most of which I then promptly also got rid off, e.g. a fiction writing plugin which was supposed to help with common words and names but was a hot mess), I've been able to open almost every file in history and see what's inside it (so many languages are supported!).
Plus, on Windows, I trust ST2 for (if nothing else) one thing - Ctrl+Shift+L.
That is the biggest, baddest, best darn feature out there! (It lets you select multiple lines and edit then in one shot, something I use a lot in my every-day office work)
