may vi is 700K, most people use gvim which is more like 14M. As for
emacs its 90M on my system but I have a LOT of extras, including the
emacs21-el package which is the uncompiled version of things the
packages and is 32M alone plus
auctex/ecb/preview-latex/x-symbol/... and I don't know how much space
those are taking up, but the base installation seems to be 40M (package
reported size for emacs21 + emacs21-common)
