I doubt that ``many of us'' are familiar only with one tool.  Or
should be, anyway.

I'm not saying I'm against pushing the limit up, but I don't expect
from an interactive editor to be able to edit 200MB files without
problems.  So I simply don't think about it as the tool of choice in
such cases.
