I agree, with a GB of installer I would expect a full blown SPICE simulator
integrated to the MCU emulator as well as an extensive code and template
library with possible knowledge base -- so that you do not need to be
online for development. For simple Syntax Highlight and a Code Explorer you
do not need that much space for sure.

21MB Installer:
http://www.codelite.org/

Maybe that does not contain all the features, but still, what could be
included in 1GB - 21MB ?
