@efi @hikari i recall borland c++ builder using about as much in like 2007
(it came on a cd rom, naturally)
@efi @hikari 380 MB, this is smaller than even a base install of BCB5 (and BCB5 got to be 32-bit! that saves quite a bit of space!)
I think VS Code is fine, space-wise
@efi @hikari vs code loses overall because it doesn't have a sick installation screen (this is pre-BCB but still Borland)
