True, but it’s not always about memory usage. Some people just like apps that keep things simple rather than offering so many different customization options that they don’t know where to find anything.

There's one really basic graph showing download speed, and a really easy to read "graph" showing whats been downloaded and what's available (either for the whole torrent or alternatively for the various parts). And you don't need to look at them! As for memory usage - sure you can go lower but 8 (or 15 or whatever) on a current machine is sort of next to nothing. The point about uTorrent is that it is already without "frills" yet has all the functionality you might need. Er … fancy graphs (in uTorrent), hardly.
