There was a trend a few years ago (maybe still going) that languages with a large standard library, like PHP, is bloated. That we should strive against minimalism and then just share dependencies when needed. But then the nodejs left-pad debacle happened. I used to be more on the minimalist side, but over time I have switched to the opposite, today I can really appreciate the bloated nature of PHP, everything from large projects to small scripts just becomes easier to handle.
