Hm, well..

1) Drupal is the right solution for many tasks but not every.  Not everything 
is a nail for the Drupal hammer. :-)

2) Drupal is flexible enough to handle so many varied tasks because it is so 
modularized and abstracted, which is what adds that "bulk". :-)  A general 
purpose X is always going to be more complex than a single-purpose X.

What do you mean by "too big" and "slim"?  Perhaps if you were clearer with 
those we could give some tips.

"If nature has made any one thing less susceptible than all others of 
exclusive property, it is the action of the thinking power called an idea, 
which an individual may exclusively possess as long as he keeps it to 
himself; but the moment it is divulged, it forces itself into the possession 
of every one, and the receiver cannot dispossess himself of it."  -- Thomas
