The problem isn&#x27;t feature bloat (lots of people need feature X, some others need feature Y). The problem is that you can&#x27;t properly uncheck&#x2F;select features you don&#x27;t want yet in the instealler, so you end up with a lot of stuff you don&#x27;t need.<p>For performance: If you ask me what is more expensive computationally: Crysis or an IDE; I say an IDE can at least as performance hungry. Nothing strange with that. Try writing code to perform syntax check and autocompletion on <i>broken&#x2F;incomplete</i> syntax, for a few thousand files, then you&#x27;ll see what I mean.<p>I&#x27;m very happy to use a monster gaming machine for coding (professionally) if it increases my productivity even just a little.
