I think that developer tools have always taken up a significant proportion of the resources available on a developer machine. Back in the 90's, Visual Basic was criticizes as being bloated for requiring a 4MB of RAM (the exact number may be off). Now we have vastly more powerful computers. I think using those resources to have easier, more extensible, and more capable developer environments is a good tradeoff.
