Somehow, VLC is both one of the programs with the most useful features and the least bloat I've ever used.

What does your project management do right to find the right features without adding bloat? This is the kind of thing giant software companies struggle with, and they have the advantage of feature-tracking scripts on their programs.

3 answers:

- limited resources

- modules: adding features is often just a new module, which does not slow VLC.

- only devs :)
