I think actual bloat is better measured by comparing the size and speed of a program with a few of its previous versions and look at the number of new features. Outlook strikes me as a suitable candidate: I can't think of anyone using it any differently today than say 10 years ago. I even think comparing with something that is 20 years old today is more interesting than comparing a 1995 IDE to a line editor written for teletypes. |

The web version of Outlook is a great example --- on a computer only a year old, it often lags on every keypress when writing an email.
YouTube's redesign ("Polymer") is another example, where the new site is much slower than before, despite not really increasing in features.
