well everything is bloated to some extent, just spend a grand or so and get
a decent PC. Who cares if KDE loads lots of bloated libraries then when You
have just a little, more than you are used to, hardware to run it.

I'm running enlightenment (0.16.8.5cvs) and not KDE or Gnome. I
agree the growing assumption that everyone has icons on their
desktop, or a start button on a taskbar (just like windows) is a tad
annoying, but no more so than the assumption that everyone uses
either rpm or deb package management.

I tend to use nedit for a text editor in X, but vim in console. I am
growing to like emacs though, as it seems to be the best environment
for learning Lisp (Slime is great).

slrn. But If I get comfortable in Emacs, gnus may get some use too.

I have a similar question. I tried dillo and I like VERY much because it's
superlight. There is another one light browser? Firefox is heavy on my machine
Dillo is a problem since it's without tabs. I seek for kmeleon style browser
in Linux. There is any? links works great, but sometimes I need graphic
support.
