Name Your Favorite Bloat-Free Software

Posted by ScuttleMonkey on from the need-a-steady-diet-of-#-/*-and-// dept.

An anonymous reader writes "I prefer software that takes as little hard drive space and RAM as possible. I can't stand bloated software like iTunes, as compared to Foobar or classic Winamp; or Windows Media Player, as compared to VLC or Media Player Classic. What are some of your favorite applications which are a little less bloated?"

    I think you've really hit the nail on the head there. Too many open-source projects suffer from this silly political correctness. Because one obscure target platform doesn't support feature, no one can have it.

    It's a bit like designing a work of art whilst using only inks that are distinguishable by colour-blind people.
