I understand that a code editor is necessarily a little bit bloated. But my comment was more about the binary size. I'm very much not a fan of this static compiled apps even I understand that from the developers standpoint they're nice. But properly packaging such a thing is usually more involved as I would be if is would be modular from the get go. AppImages are a bit better as they're an "overlayed" bundle but still the usual problems remain. How big would it be if it would use the dynamic libs provided by an distribution actually? I guess not bigger than Kate. :-)
