Survival is the definition of bloat in the current direction the game has taken and the action RPG mechanics added are lackluster compared to the mods people have made for the game while also taking away from the atmosphere of the earlier stages. Minecraft is a case study in less being more and the potential pitfalls of an endless development cycle, as well as the danger posed by acquisition by major corporations and the passing of development work from one person/group to another. The most positive spin I could put on it is that it is like a collaborative work of art that has had additions to it over the years and though those additions are not always ideal the old versions are always available to enjoy, along with an active modding community that makes ever new version into a million different games that are a unique expression of those individuals visions for what the game could be. There will never be another game quite like it, that's for sure.
