Adobe Programmer Syndrome (APS)

A programmer, or group of programmers, more interested in tacking more and more "bloatware" features to software, rather then cleaning up and optimizing existing code. Usually using the excuse "Computers are faster now, they can handle it"

Any real programmer knows performance > features and splash screens are soooo 2001.
