Although what is really important is RAM usage, so if unused plugins don't increase RAM, then download size is a not a big problem (only if it gets too big). ### Test for Windows 10 64bits Download size: Sublime Text Build 3211 x64 Setup.exe | geany-1.36_setup.exe -------------------------------------------|------------------------- 10.675KB | 15.743KB RAM usage for the same 6 open files: Sublime Text Build 3211 x64 Setup.exe | geany-1.36_setup.exe -------------------------------------------|------------------------- 21.692K | 11.312K I was going to download Atom to test too, but it's just too big: 172MB -- You are receiving this because you are subscribed to this thread.
