The (must) requirement was install footprint, not memory

e.g. TextAdept's 20MB).
It isn't that gigantic in comparison. You can say the same thing
in comparison with vim which is only a 2MB install size, 20MB in
comparison is gigantic. The requirements are rather vague, you
can interpret it in a number of ways. I wouldn't consider 200MB
gigantic in comparison to 20MB cause there is literally no
difference of use for me. You'd have to have a really shitty
laptop for it to be an issue.
