I'm tired of complaining about iLok, so instead I will complain about the installer, which downloads another installer, asks you to sign in again and then downloads and installs the plugin without asking which formats you want. (*) There's a total of 845MB of stuff installed, assuming I found it all, and 525MB of that is the installers. Even just the .vst3 file itself is 80MB, making it the largest plugin I had on my drive (the average is more like 13MB).
For comparison, MagicDeathEye and its installer take up a total of 63MB. (And it sounds better to me anyway...)
I know disk space is cheap, but bloat is still annoying.
(*) I will never want an AAX plugin. I also don't need both VST2 and VST3.
