It seems big - and we are working on a way to slim it down a bit. Apple is making their default install of ICU accessible so Valentina on Mac will go on a diet (we are estimating a drop of about 20 MB or so). Mac apps have historically been small, but we noticed a significant amount of bulge since we starting using Apple sanctioned tools (lamenting Codewarrior here). The last two applications I got online were 300 MB and 2 GB. The 2 GB one made my eyes bulge at times but downloading by DSL it was manageable - just long.
