I agree.  Although it's not freeware, I've been using Greenview Data's Vedit Plus 
editor 
for years, under DOS, OS/2, and Windows.  I believe that they are working on a Linux 
version as well.  Anyhow, it handles huge files -- personally the largest I've run 
have 
been only 4/5 Megabytes (offload from a server), but it works like a charm, and 
integrates with compilers as well.  Small footprint, rock solid, extensible macro 
language.
