i've made a new pact with myself to stop downloading trivial apps which take up orders of magnitude more than their function.
Mullvad - a VPN = 500mb
Reaper - a full blown DAW = 10mb
seriously?
The same applies for simple text editors with lovely UI's which again - are 500mb, ridiculous. There are cases where i dont have an alternative - but - i expect single task, fast response apps to be several MB.
A beautiful example is SumatraPDF - 3MB for a PDF viewer....perfection...runs like lightening.
