Agreed. Yes, it makes a "hello world" app bigger than it could be,
but for most real-world apps you need a large chunk of that
functionality anyway. And for something like a game, the size of
the framework is dwarfed by the size of your resources (graphics,
sounds, etc.). So I agree that it's an odd thing to obsess about.
I almost LOL'd. These threads about the built-app size have been
going on for years. I recall a thread, years ago, where the posters
were obsessed with the question of whose IDE made the smallest "Hello
World." Very little talk occurred about the size of apps of
considerable complexity. It was always "My 'Hello World' is smaller
than yours, nyeah nyeah."
