Not really that big yet. i keep a full copy that is a few weeks behind, i'm running the client with the -txindex argument, which indexes all transactions (and takes up a little extra space), currently is at 414 GB. The initial sync from block 0 can take a while, but after having an almost synced copy, getting it up to date is fast I remember thinking "this will never work" after reading the bitcoin whitepaper, i assumed that at some point only supernodes would exist. We might be getting there, be we are not there yet, and definitely moving at a slower pace than my initial prediction. Holding 400-500 GB is still very attainable today at a small cost
