Correction: it's a even smaller 3MB web installer, however the final install size is 3GB, 4GB or 5GB (depending on if you want Win 8.1 SDK or Win 10 SDK or both).

At least it is still smaller than VS which is typically larger than 10GBs.

Just to clearify... Your talking about http://landinghub.visualstudio.com/visual-cpp-build-tools (Visual C++ Build Tools) and not https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=48159 (Microsoft Build Tools 2015) which is only msbuild.
