Wut, I opened 12 files in 9MB back in the day on a 32MB device as nothing.

Right now, I'm editing all the files in a 3kLOC project in neovim, doing completion with an LSP host, in 14.8MB. Keep it going for a few days and you might rack up 40MB. People can keep creating lightweight editors all they like, but you really need to bring more to the table than that when vim already exists.
