I have to disagree.  Featureful: yes.  Bloated: no.

For example, I use KMyMoney to manage my checkbook at home.  One day while I 
was at work, I wanted to check my balance.  On a whim, I loaded KMyMoney 
locally and selected the File -> Open menu.  Then, I entered 
"sftp://myhomeserver/home/me"; and selected "personal.kmy" from the 
resulting display of the files on my home server.  Voila - there was my 
checkbook in all it's miniscule glory.

I like the fact that I can open WebDAV files in Kate exactly like they were 
on my local filesystem.  I think it's spiffy that I can write a letter in 
Kmail and add attachments that physically reside on remote machines, 
accessible through a long list of available protocols, without Kmail having 
to have direct support for each of them.

That's pretty darn cool stuff, and I don't consider it bloated at all.
