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...
