was my first reaction upon looking at Azureus's source code. To think I actually use this...

if code /looks/ bad, it's harder to read. if code is harder to read, it's easier for bugs to slip in, and harder for programmers to catch them. this generally results in a low quality application.
this is especially the case if more than one programmer is working on the same project.
as an end-user, if i try to view a program's source code and it's hard to read, it's not good. i have little to no idea what it's actually doing on my system, or what it's supposed to do. makes me less likely to ever use this program again.
