Of course as you already know emacs includes so many thing unrelated to
editing that anyone using it has already decided they don't mind the
bloat.  *OT* Really is there any argument that a psychoanalysis program
in an editor is not bloat? By the way emacs21 takes 50MB to install (vim
takes 15MB), and yes a full KDE install takes more at around 254MB to
install but it could be argued it provides more functionality. ;)  Of
course KDE can also be seen as bloat to people enjoying using command
line tools or flipping the switches on their altair. ;) *OT*  The point
I was trying to make was that adding bloat for no good reason at all,
in this case over a screenfull of advertising to a console util harms
its usability.
