I've once designed "The Fantastically Modular and Configurable Ball of Mud." Scratch that. I've definitely succeeded many times even if that wasn't the goal. I now take the approach of writing single-purpose throwaway tools until I've gotten a firm grasp on exactly the use-cases I'm not targeting. Few open source projects list anti-features, but when they do, I'm extremely appreciative.
