Yes, modern *desktop* Linux is pretty fat. It's mostly in the desktop GUI stuff.
"Server" Linux (i.e., no GUI desktop environment) is pretty lean.
True. Server stuff is fairly lean. The kernel is still getting pretty damn big,
though.
Kernel 3.7.10 on this system (x86/32 bit) is "2495k kernel code".
On the package bloat issue, well, I run Gentoo.
