One thing (to bring this more on-topic again) to note is that vim doesn't
handle large (gigabytes) files nice, loading it into memory.  The same
is probably true for emacs. The only editor I know (I didn't test millions
of them though), that nicely handles large files is joe, as it does't load
them into memory.

For images, which might become big especially when storing a lot of extra
info (undo info etc.), this is an issue ;)

 The downside to using 'ar', really, is that WinZip doesn't support it.
 I haven't verified this - I hope a Windows user can do so for us.  Just
 for reference, attached below is a CP of an ar archive I just made:
 
 
 Hmm..that just seens just plain as no downside at all.
 You see..windows users don't even have a comom tool to edit
 large ASCII files.

vim? emacs? .. I bet there are many editors that can handle large text
