I would be interested to know why you detest Phillips screws. Looks like the commenters here prefer Phillips screws, including me.Interesting comment about the slotted screws. I have always detested Phillips screws and firmly believe that the guy who invented them (Mr.Phillips?) should be required to insert every one ever made himself.

Good for you! I need to do the same thing. I have almost as many tools, fasteners of all kinds and things to build with and make repairs with as most men. I am an artist who loves to paint, loves photography, loves to make things out of wood like cabinets, shelves, shutters, window boxes and wood cutouts for yard decorations. At 85, I feel like I will soon have to slow down, but I hate to turn loose of anything until I do!
Seems like you don't need to slow at all!
You do know, the law of things of course: 1. You won't need something until the day after you throw it out, and
2. You generally won't find something until you're looking for something else.
Best to you

All I can say is that I’ve had stuff setting around for 20 years, got tired of stepping around it, threw it away and within a week I needed it. That’s happened more than once.
If you hadn't just thrown it away, you would have forgotten you had it, and bought new anyway.
