Well, like you I think, I believe that vim-script is usually quite enough for most of the things one would want to do with Vim; but I have seen people who apparently cannot think of programming Vim in other than Perl or Python (etc.). As I think you know, for people who think of such interfaces as "useless bloat", they can be excluded bodily at compile-time, and compiling Vim is not really difficult. The only bloat then would be in sources which are left out of the executable, either because the modules in question are simply not compiled, or because, in included modules, the instructions in question are in the false branch of some #ifdef; and I believe that such "source-only bloat" can be tolerated.
