Situation:
Robert L. Glass "Of Model Changeovers, Style, and Fatware"
So you think there's too much "fatware" in the software world? Software
packages that have far more features and capabilities than the average user
needs or wants? Well, I do. I could have gone on happily, using my ancient
WordStar word processor, for example, if the computer on which it ran
hadn't up and died on me.
Steve McConnell "Achieving Leaner Software"
Whether the software pudginess originates externally, from excess
features, or internally, from overly complex designs and
implementations, pudgy software takes more time to design, code,
and debug than simpler software. Cost per line of code and defect
rate per line of code increase as software size increases.
