Developer Frans Pop, author of debtree, posted an article showing the evolution in size of the GNOME desktop environment in recent Debian releases. The picture he paints isn't particularly pretty: the default GNOME install has increased drastically in size over the years.

Thank you for your lengthy reply. Our opinions differ, but that's allright. I live with GUIs for 20 years and I always try to avoid them, can't help about it. I've also made music on 0.5 MHz/64k RAM computers so I can tell bloat when I see it.
