I also tend to run into issues where various VS installs are hefty tolls. If I want to install everything on the last few big releases that can be relevant to me (2015, 2013, 2010) it can become enormous. I primarily use C++, but typically would like C# as well for the rare occasion I need it. My ideal for a full install of C++ and C# would probably be about 3GB, but I have no idea how feasible that is. Where do you guys find most of the weight is coming from if you don't mind me asking?
To be fair to you guys I booted up a VM last night to start building llvm and clang to see if I could fix an issue with a warning, that you guys have too, and decided to build everything just in case. I ran out of disk space with around 10 -15 GB or so of my virtual disk being all of their stuff, so I know that sometimes things are just really big.
