What the fuck is this shit?

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.

bad style == bad program.
