The C++ project I'm working on at the moment has many dozens of 1Mb header files. Its very frequent for source files to go past the two megabytes mark. Splitting these files is no option either; there are over three thousands of them and compilation times are slow enough already (many hours without distributed build systems).

As for data files, we have XMLs (yeah, I know..) over 50Mb in size.

Atom is a long way from supporting such projects. This probably doesn't apply to most web projects, but 2Mb is far from a huge file :)

SOAP dependency?


No, just data definitions used by the application. Most of it uses generated parsers and serializers but we still need to manually edit the files now and then.
