slightly irritated, software packaging
I've gotten into a habit of just completely ignoring anyone in a software packaging discussion who uses the term 'bloat' and it has done wonders for my ability to actually work towards solutions instead of chasing ill-specified ghosts

And like, it's not that things like package size or redundancy don't matter - it's just that if someone uses the word 'bloat', they almost certainly don't have a sufficiently concrete concern to be actionable, because if they did, they would be describing that concern instead of a vague hand-wavy term like 'bloat'
