For what?
What exactly are you trying to do?
Editing a gcode for 3D printing is tedious, for milling also, but for plasma it is doable.
Editing can be done in any text editor.
Line numbers are ignored, usually.

A really nice editor (with plotting capabilities) is Ncplot. it has the capability to add, remove, or renumber N-line numbers. As well as a number of other handy g-code manipulating features. But the nicest part of it is that it can plot out subprograms, macro programs, and parametric code in Fanuc style g-code. Those features almost make it almost indispensable for complex g-code editing of those kinds of programs.
That said, Linuxcnc really doesn't use N-numbers for anything and it doesn't even care if the N-numbers are out of order, so if they get in your way, just leave them out. I also use regular text editors such as Pluma, and Gedit, also simple IDEs such as Geany or Notepad++ can also be very nice G-code editors.

Line numbers serve no purpose in G code and are annoying.
Drop line numbers and use any text editor, Geany, Pluma etc.

My purpose for editing is as follows:
I am doing some engraving job on round workpiece, practically silver glass.
My machine is XZA configuration.
Now if I want a endless engraving on a glass then I need to manually edit gcode to lift the Z axis for the X movements at A=360,540 etc. Although I try to avoid lines along X in drawing at both ends, but pocketing operation inherently cause X lines while engraving the boundary and contouring again creates the same.
It is a tedious job, but I need to satisfy the customers.
Any better solution if anyone may suggest please?

Does LinuxCNC accept Gcodes with line numbers?? I have not tested it actually.

LinuxCNC completely ignores line numbers.
