Partial A multi-feature editor is a lot of surface area, but the hard part is making a C++ native app open 10GB+ files instantly with a responsive UI across three operating systems, which needs deep systems and performance engineering.
What it would actually take: Use C++ with a native GUI toolkit, memory-mapped or chunked file I/O, and piece-table or rope structures for edits. Git, SSH, and database features can be wrapped from libraries, but cross-platform performance, rendering of huge files, and integration quality call for experienced native and systems engineers.
