Frankly *every* aspect of modern computing is in need of industrial
liposuction - but the fact that one part of a user's ecosystem being
even more of a hog than the DE doesn't make the DE being a hog not
count; to the contrary, a bloated DE is going to make things even worse
when combined with a bloated browser loading bloated websites than it
would if the user wasn't relying on a browser at all, because there's
even less slack to spare for glitzy DE features.
