"Bloat" was your quote, not "bloatware". Nevertheless, the latter term applies to more than just inefficient space utilization or coding. It also applies to feature bloat (cf current Excel or LO Calc to Lotus 1-2-3, or current Word or LO Writer to WordPerfect 4), and excessive system resource demand. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bloatware summarizes nicely. I use Quattro Pro for DOS daily, LO Calc or KSpread rarely. QP is old (and compact), but it lacks very few features I need. The tail doesn't wag the dog.
