It's called refactoring, and there's nothing wrong with that. Programming is an iterative process.

Any time I look at code I wrote 10 years ago, I want to rewrite it.

Of course, there's some who will constantly fiddle with working code - the key is to recognize when that's what you're doing, and stop it.
