Agreed. It's always bizarre to me that people make the choice to use bloated, crappy OSes and then complain about the very existence of these options as though they're compelled to use them. I've used Linux as my primary system since the first year of college, and that's taken me all the way from a snazzy, effects-laden setup to my current stripped down Openbox setup with no panels, controlled largely by keyboard shortcuts. Not that my system is perfect, obviously, but bloat on your system that's not due to something you're explicitly running is a concern I just can't relate to at all, and frankly, I don't know why people put up with it.
