Much larger after the tediously long installation (at least it is fairly automated). At least now if I want to look at something like this: http://www.tug.org/texshowcase/kv315f.tex and the original author has no desire to output in a sensible format, then I have some way to convert it into a readable file. >But if you meant an IDE for looking at the raw LaTeX files, TeXnicCenter >(http://www.texniccenter.org/) is pretty nice. You have to have TEX installed: "Enter the full path of the directory where the executables of your TEX distribution are located" It does not provide an uninstal option in the folder created after setup. After installing MiKTeX, TeXnicCenter noticed its presence and asked if I wanted to use it as the viewer. Then, it asked me to tell it where all the binaries were. Incredibly unimpressive. I hope it won't be too hard to get all this crap off of my computer.
