It adds up. More and more applications are that fat. My system drive is 1 TB, and I am a point in which I need to judge which application is worthy of taking space. I agree that 400 MB for an editor is a tad too much.



400 MB costs less than 2 cents. Is it really worth your time and energy to worry about disk space when you could double the space on your machine for $50?


Space is expensive if you are using an SSD.


And what if we're talking about, say, a proprietary SSD, which is replaceable but you lose your warranty?

Apple's Macbook SSD upgrades are quite a bit more expensive than you're positing.
