Not that it justifies 2.4 GB but the products are very different. One is read only while the other is everything you could ever imagine wanting to do with a PDF. e.g. Infranview is expected to be significantly smaller than GIMP too.

For the most part that's perfect though. 99% of the time I just want to read a PDF so I just use the PDF reading tool not the PDF everything tool. That being said signing/form filling does bring me back to other solutions occasionally.
