I agree that threre is a lot of extra baggage that might not be necessary for all (most) applications, but that simply may be the drawback of a general solution. It will fit many applications, so it is not specially geared towards yours.
Before I contributed to WCK I was considering a much more lean and slim solution, but I that would have meant lots of double work. Additionally, by making it as generic as the Slide WCK solution it would almost have ended up in a similar complexity. Just my 2 cents.
