Bloat is good?!

Dave Winer:

Hello. Earth to developers. You’re not supposed to take features out. Products are supposed to bloat, not disappear.

I think the world would be a better place if more developers would start taking features out of their software. I recently abandoned my experiments with the Eclipse editor because it has too many features. The damn thing has a search engine in the settings dialog so you can find the feature you want. I still don’t know how to turn on line numbers (and have them stay on).
