Yeah. I'm not looking for a super high-end custom house - Was looking for something pretty nice but probably not the last house I'll ever have. It seems the builders down here that self-finance construction and then sell completed house... yes... the houses are very cookie cutter. I saw one, for example, that had three floor plans to choose from. There were no "options" that would change construction, and there were three things you could choose: color of walls, color of tile, and color of cabinets (choosing between 2-3 colors for each).
That's not nearly enough choice.

Agreed--the choices are quite limited, and the quality of materials didn't meet my standards. I didn't go crazy high end, but I had certain non-negotiable quality standards for materials. I wanted to be able to specify everything, down to the last doorknob. Plus, too many of the semi-custom choices are middle-of-the-road, design-wise. WTF is up with everything in shades of brown, khaki, and beige? Blech.
