I'm starting to believe that bespoke, personalized software is the only way to combat feature bloat. Every software (proprietary or open source) I download and use has features I don't want getting in the way and bugs that the developers/maintainers are not prioritizing.

I ended up vibe coding my own Android TV media player because every single other one out there has too much feature bloat and show stopping bugs. My version has exactly the features I want and (very importantly) no more.
