I never said /all/, I said /most/.

In the same vein as your reply, a standard Python install is somewhere 
around 30 megs and includes Idle (not quite an IDE, but it gets the job 
done).  DJGPP (a c/c++ compiler for dos) is also around 30 megs 
installed, and includes an IDE, compiler, linker, libaries, headers, etc.

However, if we were to take a look at some standard tools that current 
university students and even a measurable portion of industry 
professionals use; Eclipse, MS Visual Studio, and others, you'll note 
the tendency of bloat.
