In the late 80s I was impressed by a full Wordstar compatible text editor for Turbo Pascal which only occupied 25K (including the compiler). Times have indeed changed.

When I cloned the godot repo, I could understand the architecture just by the file names.
I started falling in love with it as the easily understandable file names started streaming down from the cloud.
It's truly a public good.
For comparison, emacs's installed size is 76K [1].
On my system the emacs executable is 39M and the entire installed package is 128M. (Additionally, my Doom Emacs folder takes up another 840M.)
HOW?
But on Windows, it seems that every app like this is essentially a Linux/mSys distro that just happens to run the application.
Of course, apps in general are getting that way.
I work at an engineering firm, and that's how most engineers understand it.
