<p>Geany Windows download == 16Mbytes, Plugins Windows download == 36Mbytes, total 52Mb compared to say Vscode Windows download 62Mbytes, Eclipse hundreds of Mbytes, etc etc as you say I doubt its an issue :)</p>
</blockquote>
<p>Maybe most people that use Geany do it because it's a lightweight editor, so maybe should compare size with other lightweight editors.</p>
<p>Notepad++.exe is 3.6MB</p>
<p>And the tendency is to have more plugins, so what now would be 52MB can be much bigger later.</p>
</blockquote>
<p>Although what is really important is RAM usage, so if unused plugins don't increase RAM, then download size is a not a big problem (only if it gets too big).</p>
