If your business code is 300k, or about 1/13 of that, then slapping a whopping 30 bibles of bullshit you will definitely not use for a 2 pane thing with a couple buttons and some renderer output on one side is not an insignificant investment.
A bible costs maybe $15, which is about 60GB's worth of storage - that seems like a more relevant comparison.
And you are missing it because you're OK with jamming your code right inside 400 times more foreign code in order to display a cute window with two panes in it.
Do please make a civil effort to understand there's people who are not ok with it. People like OP, who feels devoting 47 bibles of code to displaying a taskbar widget is not OK.
Or like me, who actually likes to know exactly what is my code doing.
