I am working on an application using DevExpress XAF. It allows you to build a big enterprise application relatively quick by doing a lot of the dirty work you would otherwise do yourself for CRUD stuff. A lot of the application can be modified through mere clicks without touching a single line of code.
It is cool but kinda bloaty. When you simply launch an XAF application, it uses 300 megabytes of RAM. And that's before you even loaded a single byte of business data. You have just reached the login screen.
At least i felt it was "kinda bloaty" until i first booted Void Linux on my gaming PC at home and took a look at htop. IT'S ONLY 400 MEGABYTES AND IT'S READY TO USE! MAYBE ADD 200 MEGABYTES FOR KDE!
ALL THIS BLOATING CANNOT CONTINUE! WE HAVE TO TAKE ACTION IMMEDIATELY OR WE WILL BE FOREVER DOOMED TO UPGRADE OUR RAM LEST WE DON'T WANT EVEN A FUNCTIONING TEXT EDITOR!
