Theoretically, space is cheap. But space is precious on a 128gb ssd macbook air.

I am pretty economical with space, I don't store media on here, it's almost entirely dev tools and code projects. And I do not want a piece of software that takes 400mb without providing me significantly more value than what my 30mb (Sublime Text) one. I don't care about media being large, or backups taking a lot of space, or installers being big, since I can shove those on an external.

But I'm obviously not going to do that with any dev tools. Any tool that cannot justify it's size cannot live on my internal drive, and if it ain't there I'm not using it.
