Back "in the day", I used a fine editor called the B editor, or something like that.  I used it on a modest 386pc over a network to a *nix-based computer to work on program files that were thousands of lines long. The editor was designed for programming (columns, line numbering, etc..)  It was very fast, and never failed.
