It's a bit of a double-edged sword.  At the end of the day it's what the
consumers are willing to accept.  One of the few consumer applications that
is still rigid in it's demand for optimization and efficiency is your basic
text editor (no, not that monstrosity known as Emacs).  If your text editor
isn't small, fast and efficient, noone is gonna use it.  But now take it
one level up, but instead we'll call that same application an Integrated
Development Environment (IDE), which is basically a glorified multi-tab
Text Editor with a built-in MsPaint.

Let's see how much memory that takes up:

1GB.  And I have 3 IDEs open at any given moment.

It's weird.  People seem to think that the more powerful the application
is, the more resources it's supposed to use.
