any text editor with a line length limit shorter than 1 megabyte is a
liability. that said if you dump as inserts there's probably a way to
use sed to split the long strings and still have a loadable dump.

I find that jed is powerful, fast, and reasonably easy to use. and had
no problem with 2.3MB lines.
gnome-text-editor ("gedit") handles lines of tens of thousands of
characters OK but seems to have problems displaying million character
lines,
I expect ther big guns "vim" and "emacs" also have no problems with
long lines.
