I don't think it's so much the 'eye candy' factor that is making it
bloated. It's inexperienced developers make bad code design
decisions. A *lot* of developers on both the gnome and the kde team
are really not very good.
What upset me about gnome was that at one point it was kinda ok with
it, and then all of a sudden sawfish was scrapped. Out came metacity.
To a user's perspective, all of a sudden gnome went from a fairly
light, very configurable snazzy desktop, to become a not-very
configurable, much heavier desktop.
I *really* don't like it when developers arbitrarily drop features
because they think noone else uses it, because they don't use it. The
PHP community has the same arrogance - the developers there have no
quawms about telling you should not use "the unusual
VirtualDocumentRoot" - which is a bunch of crock!
It's interesting that now that Linux is becoming more mature, we're
facing internal community struggles. Before it was, I don't care what
you do, as long as it's not windoze, but now that a lot of people are
well established in Linux, we want "certain specific things" on Linux.
I guess we're getting picky.

Check out the source code of icewm - it is very apparent that the
programmer thinks structured. It's all just straight forward code -
it's actually pretty darn like my style of coding.
Clearly, gnome and kde could really use some of these kinds of coding
skills.
Some people say "C++ just creates overhead, it's better to use *flat*
C".
Man oh man, are these people W A Y off base or what...
