Suckless is a community where anything mildly difficult to do which also isn't already provided by UNIX or C is "bloat" and should be avoided. Rather than seriously consider why the "UNIX philosophy" falls flat for many different types of programs, they instead attack the category and pretend it doesn't matter. They're mental midgets wearing stilts that don't work.
