Can someone explain to me why ropes are better than RRB trees? I havent implemented ropes in a long time, but I remember that there was very little performance benefits over gap buffers even for things like multiple cursors until the document became 10+ mb.

I have always thought that a text editor using rrb-trees would probably be the easiest option that would ensure decent performance for small files, and good performance for large files while also being great for random access or linear search.
