iClock - A more powerful menubar clock

Sounds nice, but why the heck does a clock let you switch running applications and set desktop screen effects? Features are good when they relate to what your program is supposed to do, but are bloat otherwise. This is more an example of poorly focused design.

Please note that I'm all in favor of utilities providing such features, but they should not be present in a clock!

Thanks for the comment about feature bloat. "3000 more features" sounds like the programmers couldn't be bothered to figure out what four or five really matter. That's just lazy and poor design.
