Descent also started to work slowly with large files.

In my humble opinion, the problem is not the editor. If you have to edit 
a file 8000 lines long, then something's wrong with either how you 
program or the language (too verbose? not too compact?).

Might also be a problem with Eclipse... though I remember editing Java 
files that long and it worked more or less OK.
