Call them nuisances if you want, but calling it bloatware just tells me you don't know the meaning of the word "bloat".
I wrote that when I should have been sleeping, so maybe I could have chosen a better word. That said, maybe it's you who needs to look up its meaning. Synonyms: swell, inflate, enlarge, balloon http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/bloat
I know what bloatware means, and it is not what you seem to think. It doesn't mean "things I don't want", it refers to software that uses 1MB to implement something that could be done in 1KB, something that is very inefficiently implemented.
"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.
