> Emacs itself takes up so little of a memory footprint I don't even care about it First it was lean. Then it grew and became bloated. Then people complained. And then available resources grew so fast that it didn't matter. I didn't say emacs is too bloated to use, so your entire comment is a little off base. I said people have complained about emacs getting bloated in this same way for the same reasons. And they have. Historical fact.
