I'm not saying that Qt Web Engine would be a problem. I was arguing against
"memory is not a problem on developer machines". We still need to be careful
of how much we use.
Anyway, +150MB for Qt Creator is close to a 20% increase in how much it's
consuming right now, with no C++ files open. I'm also seeing 1.2 GB swapped
out...
Right, not everybody has 16GB of ram. There are people wanting to use QtCreator
also in poorer country, or simply students or non-pro, with cheaper hardware.
Or sometimes even it can be convenient to debug with QtCreator running on the
embedded target machine.
Not saying anything pro or against QtWebEngine: Just saying that, in general,
the "RAM is cheap anyway for developer" argument should not be a license to
wasting memory. (A 20% increase is not negligible)
