Relative to: Atom, VS, Sublime Text, the mac Notes app, and modern hard drive sizes - it's pretty small.

No, it's not as small as Nano, but I have a hard time getting my hackles up over a single binary I can download in under a second.

The Notes app executable is 2.4MB uncompressed and Notes handles a whole bunch of stuff this thing doesn't. Sublime is 12.5MB.
