I'm looking for a solid text editor for Windows 10. Preferably one that is open source, can handle large files (like a few hundred MB), and does not use Java or Cygwin.
It's for a co-worker who's not a developer. So features like project management, git integration, syntax highlighting or regular expressions are not necessary.
We have tried Atom for a while but noticed it's quite slow with larger files.
I know there's many alternatives such as Notepad++, Sublime, Bluefish, et cetera. But I have little experience with them myself and would love to hear other people's experience with these (or others) and then make an educated choice.
.txt
file, you don't see any highlighting, except if you apply an optional spellcheck! I don't know what is the maximum file size that it can handle, as I never attain its limits in practise. To be tested.
