It seems to me that the air is ripe those exact accusations nowadays!!

When people say "slow" what are they actually comparing them(KDE/GNOME) 
against?? certainly not against CLI... that would be quite unfair!!... 
right?

And when people say "fat" are they referring to the bundled applications 
that these Desktop provide or something else?? and is it such a bad 
thing providing extra applications??

Also by "bloated" are people referring to the frequent bugs that are 
uncovered?? if so.. I thought bugs were a reality of life in software 
development!!

Please feel free to correct me if you think my understanding is not 
accurate :)

Thanks
Emon
