Messing with someone else's code

When I have to put my hands in someone else's dirty code I feel unconfortable. Ok, this should be the same for everyone here, however there's something that absolutely drives me crazy:
- Software generated by automatic code generation tools;
- Code binded to a specific IDE that can work only with it;

Discuss.

CUPS, WebKit (Konqueror), and OpenCL were existing GPLed projects that Apple were only forced to contribute back to because of the law. Their "contributions", by the way, are incredibly small tweaks to make this code compile on their modified FreeBSD distribution, of which 99.9% is code that was written outside Apple altogether. Apple are getting a free ride on the hard work of the open source community and you are too much of a fanboy to admit it.
