Vim (Iterm2) is my favorite. I use Atom for analyzing log files.

Interesting! Personally I've used Vim for with large log files, since it has been a lot faster than Atom

I started with DreamWeaver 2 in 1998, switched to BBEdit within the first 6 months, switched to TextMate in 2006 and (finally) to Vim in 2010 after 10 months spent trying every cross-platform editor available at the time.

Vim is awesome but I'm fairly certain I would have switched to Sublime Text if it had been available for Mac OS X at the time.

I tried DreamWeaver a bit, but mostly stuck to HomeSite back then. BBEdit never managed to lure me in. And yeah, I think Sublime Text wasn't available when I switched to Vim from TextMate as well

I should have prefaced with smaller log files for Atom. What size files are you typically looking at in Vim?

The files I had were about 30 MB
