800 MB! Haw haw haw! If you want to see positive bloat, just try IBM's payware versions of Eclipse. WSAD 6 was ludicrous in its memory usage, and (with help from a few custom plugins) I have seen it reach 2 GB. As to the all new RAD 7... the full installer takes something like 11 DVDs.
Of course none of this is free software, but it is based on free software.
