Personally, I agree that here are quite a few features that could be
removed from Amarok.

BUT, the thing is, my list of features that are "bloat" are likely
different from everyones elses. So if we removed all that parts of
Amarok that someone does not use, there likely would be very little
left at all ;-)

This is not an argument for blindly adding everything that someone
wants, but since the perfect music player is different for anyone,
some common ground has to be found.
