What feature in Ghost do you never use / think we should delete?

There is also the hardcoded dependency to Mailgun but "deleting" that probably means "writing more code" for you so I guess it doesn't count?
I think that's more about changing how something works (I agree, would be nice) - but in this case I'm more curious about what things shouldn't be there at all
Shipping features is easy, unshipping is usually harder.
I like Ghost's lean and selective approach in general, so nothing big comes to mind.
But... in a fresh Ghost installation, Settings >>> Social accounts has X and Facebook pre-populated with (I think it was) Ghost's own social media accounts? Can be safely removed. No need to promote (even more) these platforms, in the best case scenario admins will have to delete or change those strings, and in the "worse" they will not notice and have wrong links.
The announcement bar 😬
For what it does, the footprint is too big, in my eyes
No no no please not the announcement bar. :)
Don't get me wrong, the announcement bar as a tool is great. But the way it's currently build is hurting a lot of sites: https://www.spectralwebservices.com/blog/announcement-bar-a-review/
So, instead of getting rid of it...let's make it better!
That's a different thing to the question I asked 😅 but sure, I agree - PRs to improve performance very welcome!
