Linus Torvalds has admitted that the Linux kernel is bloated. It's not a particularly startling admission, because it's obviously true, but also because Torvalds has never been one to use marketing speak. What it doesn't mean is that Linux is bad, or that you shouldn't use it. It works, and that's better than the alternative. One of the hardest lessons I've learned over the years is "Best is the enemy of good". Like many others, I always look for the perfect solution to a problem, and would quite happily spend ages thinking of answers to every single question, rather than getting on with coding something people can actually use. While trying to create the perfect system is an admirable goal, if it means delivering the code late or not at all, it makes the whole effort pointless.
