I don't "see" that as a wrong design, it's just simply a trade-off. They make the XUL stuff so extensible and you have to trade your memory consumption for the extensibility. The same thing goes to oOo - it is slow, it is clunky, but the point is all the programs like Fx and oOo do the goddamn work they are supposed to, so it is "good" if they can make it less power-hungry, but is is not necessarily a wrong decision! The same thing happens to GNOME/KDE vs all the "lighter desktop environments." Ask yourself: Why Ubuntu not aiming being light is still the best in overall distro? Why Fx the browser that eats your 500MB of memory still the best browser in overall? Why oOo, takes 5 seconds to start, still your office software? So to wrap it up, Actually I don't like bloatware but in the same time I just want to say I tried to care less about stuff that sounds too techie, like RAM consumption and stuff like that, because we are having/going to have computers that are far more powerful than what the OS needs. I have a PC back home bought from 2001 and it has 512MB of RAM and an 1.7 Ghz CPU. @JC: Take it easy. And sorry for make you too tired, I made it too far just for the sake of my argument for... fun.
