It is unfortunate that so many editors crash because they try to load
an entire file in memory, instead of just loading
a piece of it.
That's more the job of an hex editor like Catch22's one.

Perhaps some log files can get this big, but most of the time these
are binary files (videos, disk ISO images...).
One possible application: I frequently work with DNA sequence files at
work, which are plain text files and can be over 1 Gb. I usually open
them with ultra-edit.
I can't get this large file onto my computer at the moment because of
network problems, but will try it
(crossing fingers)
I've noticed SciTE invariably crashes when you try to go over its
limits. I do understand the argument that SciTE wasn't intended for
large files, but SciTE should exit more gracefully IMHO...
