168 mb for a dependency manager seems a bit steep

[guessmyname]

45M for the downloaded DMG file;

387M of extracted/mounted data;

314M in the Contents/Frameworks directory (which is where Electron is);

73M in the Contents/Resources directory (which is where the application is);

73M is actually the size of the "Contents/Resources/app/node_modules" directory :D

[720kb]

Yes, the whole js app is a dist/ folder and weight does not exceed 1mb i guess, the outer weight is the price to pay

I find it funny that I know people who prefer Vim to Emacs for being lightweight, but also swear by a handful of electron apps for their daily work.
