Yeah, I actually looked at atom sometime back. They have a problem with long lines because their regex engine runs in O(n^2). I suggested that they switch to a regex engine that runs in O(n). https://github.com/atom/atom/issues/979#issuecomment-7770371...
I don't know what happened after that. Maybe they will act on this. The only problem with the O(n) engine was that a lot of TextMate grammars for languages wouldn't work with atom but that was easily resolvable by writing them anew.

It's amazing how true this is, huge files work fine, but one long line... I wish I knew more about editors to help fix it.
