Once I was talking to someone from SAP. He told me about their Netweaver framework is 1 billion LOC and 40k SQL tables. That does not include any application, yet. The biggest reason for the bloat: People are not allowed to change code. You only add code. Now try to add a button to some GUI without changing a single line of the existing code. At this moment I understood, why enterprises produce those overengineered AdapterFactorySingletonDecoratorBridge stuff.
