Call me crazy but my idea of a comprehensive desktop experience doesn’t involve recompiling tools like my terminal emulator or WM to change configuration.

‘No-bloat’ is kind of antithetical to GNU, where the various applications give you everything and the kitchen sink with as many compilation flags as you like to rip out features if you really don’t want them. But one person’s bloat is another person’s fully featured system; I don’t think projects should be opinionated about ‘bloat’ if they don’t want to alienate some section of potential users.
