as software matures it ALWAYS gets more and more bulky.
I'd distinguish 2 different things here:
It adds functionality: settings manager, file manager
It adds eye candy: e.g. window shadows
Also I'd distinguish between maturing, which to me is adding functionality, and ageing, which is adding junk. Of course XFCE is doing both at the same time.
But those window shadows suggest to me that the project is starting to lose its way.
