What problem does the extra 176MB present to you when you likely have 256+GB of disk storage?


This kind of reasoning is exactly why we have even more bloated, crap software these days


Who said it was a problem?

I wonder this too - it's a freakin text editor. A very cool text editor, but hundreds of megabytes?


I only hace 64 in my tablet. Half of which the OS already ate.

More to the point it is suspicious that such a basic functionality as a text editor has so much weight without reusing things with other programs. If every program measures itself by the same standards of size, we will all run out of disk...


Do not write software ever
