I've heard some complaints about Visual Studio 2015 creating hundreds of files on new ASP.NET MVC projects.
Today I installed some packages through npm, 13 MB and over 5000 files! 
I think Gulp downloaded the most packages by far.
Visual Studio could learn a thing or two from that...

It could be worse:
When I followed the instructions in the official quickstart the installation created 32,000 files in my project.
I figured this is some mistake or I missed something, so I decided to use angular-cli, but after setting up the project I counted 41,000 files.

How is that even possible?
Unless some idiot (and I knew one) thinks that "re-use" and "single responsibility" means that every file should have a single method

This day in age, it's important we have 5,000 files to print "Hello world." Because you know, it's the size that matters.

Yep - the VS team have lost the plot.
It used to be about writing code. Lots of focus on focusing on the code.
Now it's a battle just to get the IDE, libraries, helper services, backend node servers and all the other debris under control.
I get the benefits - I really do - but they need to step back and ask themselves some hard questions.

I ventured into MVC on Thursday, wanted to create a web API service, selected the web api template and oh look someone crapped in my IDE. Spend the next 30 minutes clearing out the rubbish (as I said venturing) before I can even start!

The minimum VS installation is 6GB(!). It's pretty insane.
But it seems they realized that too, because the newest version only requires 500 MB[^] 
Of course you can still opt for the gazillion tools for development in millions of ecosystems.
I like that it comes out of the box though, although it does make it a bit too heavy for my older machine...
I started using Sublime Text last week for some JavaScript code, needed to spend an hour to get some plugins installed before the editor even started to make sense

I think marketing got too involved in deciding what was a critical feature.
Ever try to remove the win phone development tools from VS 2013?

'Im Griff' would actually mean that the Big Data is in him.

Criminal is a strange term to use for someone who has been cleared of any wrongdoing by the FBI, and who has made history by being the first female nominee of any major party, and who has led a life of distinguished public service as First Lady, Senator, and Secretary of State.
Perhaps in the Republican world, founding a charity whose primary goals include helping African AIDS victims, and improving education opportunities for women and girls would be a criminal act.

No need to be that specific. A government of criminals is close enough.

Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?
