What do you want to see happen? Macromedia Dreamweaver? That's actually a great example of bloatware that we managed to roll back. It was an excellent piece of software, but it was only useful if you believed that your website needed to be bloated with ten layers of nested tables in order to be socially acceptable, since back then everyone wanted to be a "portal" that looked like the Yahoo home page. Then Google came along with their nearly empty homepage like a blinding ray of sunshine with a razor sharp focus on the things people actually wanted, and it redefined the aesthetics of prestige. Web bloat stopped being associated with professionalism and simple became trendy. So I don't think the struggle against bloatware is hopeless. We have the tools now to create and easily distribute many forms of conventional software without the cosmetic complexity. One morning we could wake to see trendsetters using it and things will change.
