Sometimes programmers need to look at unusual files: binary files, very big files, odd data files. Epsilon was designed without the limits of other editors, so it can handle these kinds of jobs, as well as ordinary files. For example, with Epsilon, lines can be as long as you like.

This text editor gets it. Such a contrast to some of the editors we have today where anything over a few megabytes is an edge case not worth fixing.

Really? I loaded a 1.2GB ISO in the demo and it used… 1.2GB of RAM. (At least it worked though, coughAtomcough.) And more importantly it has no unicode support whatsoever as far as I can tell (any non-ASCII characters I typed showed up as ?).

And what you expect here? Other editors usually take 2x to 3x of file size.

Wouldn't a hex editor be a better choice for binary files and odd data files? Are there benefits besides the ability to handle large files and long lines?
