This summarizes the split among the Emacs user community that I see in this discussion thread. Those of us who are programmer types are probably a lot happier with Emacs as it is (and as it has been since its start many decades ago) than those who aren't programmer types. Partly it's mindset, but also gets to depth of knowledge about how to use the tool -- and how to change what it does/how it works.
Regarding bloat, an analogy: if all you ever need is one specific knife blade, a Swiss Army Knife will seem to have a lot of bloat.
Cheers,
Mark
