For a text editor, yes, absolutely.

As developers, we rotinely need to work with large data sets, may it be gigabytes of logs, csv data, sql dump or what have you.

Not being able to open and edit those files means you cant do your job.

I work exclusively outside of the windows ecosystem, so my usual go to would be to pipe this through some filtering tools in the CLI long before I crack them open with an editor.

But are you really trying to do that on a Windows Server? I feel like there are better tools for the job.
