Hm. 'a bit bloated' is the understatement of the year.
I still program mostly using language features of essentially D7.
Works fine, and I don't think my productivity is in any way enhanced by all the new features.
Maybe enumerators save some typing. And it's not that I haven't tried the new
features.
What I miss - usually - are libraries to perform common tasks.
I wonder where the success of Javascript comes from ?
As a language it is simplicity itself, and yet Javascript thrives.
The only extension to have a real success is TypeScript, which simply
introduces some type checking and more or less real 'constants'...
