Visual Studio (and most other editors like Notepadd++ and Textpad) doesnt handle long lines well. For instance, I use SMO to generate database scrits. Some of these auto generated SQL script have single lines with thousand and thousand of characters in one single line. When I open that in Visual Studio it just freezes.. or it slows down to the point that it becomes unusable.

Is there any text editor you know of that handles long lines efficiently? (and ideally supports syntax highlighting ?

Thanks, Nestor

In my experience, SciTE handles long lines quite well.

Really? I find SciTE doesn't handle them at all well. The caret insists on leaping to the very edge of the screen, for instance.

More of an opinion really :)
