That's why a simple text editor on Microslop Winblows can be 300Mb.
 

Let's contrast this with the quintessential Unix editor "cooledit," which
is a total GUI program with extensive features:

ls -l /usr/local/bin/cooledit
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 342400 Sep 25  2021 /usr/local/bin/cooledit

We need also the shared library:

ls -l /usr/local/lib64/libCw.so.1.0.0
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 597768 Sep 25  2021 /usr/local/lib64/libCw.so.1.0.0

So, 342400 + 597768 = 940168

Thus, for only 940 Kbytes on GNU/Linux we have a text editor that surpasses
most, if not all, Microslop text editors that require 300X the code.

Whew!  If that's not an indictment of the junk Microslop I don't know what would
be.

Keep in mind that cooledit has syntax highlighting, compiling, debugging, email,
and a LOT of other fundamental stuff built in -- all within less than a megabyte
of code.

That's GNU/Linux power!
