Text Editor Data Structures
That is essentially what VLF[1] does in Emacs. It reads in discrete chunks of the file at a time and doesn’t load the next one till you try to display it. Doesn’t require any fancy data structures, just some extra book keeping and mechanics.

Can't learn emacs, can't use anything else (rant)
That is an issue both related to Emacs' internal representation of buffers and modes working in the background on the data in buffers of very large files, for which there are some workarounds like vlf-mode. See for example (info "(emacs) Long Lines") for similar issues with long lines and a solution more similar to what all those other editors you mention are doing to mitigate the issue of large files and large lines.

Commercial-Emacs
You can edit gigabyte-large files with no trouble vlf.el https://github.com/m00natic/vlfi – though it's a bit of a separate universe, you have to use vlf-occur instead of occur to find matches over all gigabytes of the file
;; To have it offered when opening large files:
-
so-long mode slow
For arbitrarily large files (think GB) in terms of size of the data stored you may use e.g. vlfi.

Using Emacs in an IDE World
You know how "there's an app for that" used to be a thing? Well, there's an elisp package for that: https://github.com/m00natic/vlfi

Tips for Avoiding Hangups
I’m aware of a few potential solutions including: dired-async and async-shell-command. There’s also https://github.com/m00natic/vlfi for viewing large files, but I don’t know how to address GPG pinentry and TRAMP issues very well.

Got rid of every other text editor on my Mac
I think you might enjoy this mode: vlfi. It is available in the standard Elpa package listing.

Terminal emulator with smooth scrolling like VT320
I haven't tested this myself yet, but maybe M-x term + good-scroll.el would work well

I am curious how many of you are using native compilation.
On modern hardware, without native I would encounter micro-stutters here and there, and most frequently while smooth scrolling using good-scroll. Stuttering is non-existent for me on native, so I'm definitely enjoying that. And also less empirically, just general command execution feels a bit more snappy.

What do you miss the most from your previous editor/IDE after you moved to Emacs?
I don't know but maybe it requires some configuration but pixel-scroll-mode only led Emacs to freeze. I think a better package might be https://github.com/io12/good-scroll.el, and for images https://github.com/casouri/iscroll

What would it take for emacs to achieve full smooth scrolling capabilities?
I wonder what the root cause for this is. Most of the explanations I've read revolve around emacs' lack of animation support. For example, the github page of smooth-scroll.el states the following:
- I'm a rather hard-core Emacs user, but Neovide on the dark side is just... WOWW! Animated cursors, pixel smooth scrolling, animated & blurred floating windows. This is too much!

Shout-out to SMOOTH scrolling experience with good-scroll.el
It's not often that I publicly display my respect/affection for a certain package. But good-scroll is such a nice enhancement that I feel like anybody who uses a mouse in GUI Emacs MUST try out. The smooth scrolling experience that this package provides is the best implementation I've seen, and the built-in `pixel-scroll-mode` is far from being at the same level (no offence to `pixel-scroll-mode` developers though).
