A 50MB download ( zipped ) for an Terminal App. 64MB for Slack on Windows.

150MB+ when installed, Few hundred MB Ram when running.

And just like Web Browsers, lot of little lock up and Jank.

Seriously I dont mind Apps with Web Technologies, but these problems needs to be taken into account for improvement. Opera, before switching to Chrome / Blink, were an Full Browser, with Email, RSS Reader, all packed under 11MB.

I'm curious, on what modern computer would 150MB cause storage issues?
For work I am running a 13" MPBr with 128GB SSD. 150MB for a terminal app is... I don't know. iTerm is 14MB.
