OK, the disk space is trivial, but every installed program has an overhead in documentation, packaging, users asking "what does this do", etc. There are a hundred more important things to be spending time on just in GDB alone - while I'm typing this, I'm not working on any of them (of course, I probably wouldn't be working on them anyway :-), but I am robbing from GCC hack time).
