I don't think that's monstrous at all. To put things in perspective, that
100MB that you call "all this bloat" is about ten US cents worth of disk
space or less. 100MB used to be a lot of disk space. Today it's next to
nothing.


Or, to put it another way, "bloat" is not limited only to the space a
program occupies on the hard disk. It's also defined as how slow the app
runs, compared to earlier versions or to competitors' products.
