- pixl97 8mo agoI mean, it could be that small... but why isn't it? This isn't a different question from "Why is Microsoft office everywhere" And "Why are all the popular things gigantic". Features, not speed, are what gets people to adopt software in the vast majority of cases.
- user____name 8mo agoI don't buy the features argument, there's plenty of bloated software today that ships with less features than a precursor and is a hundred times larger.
