That's a matter of taste. In fact, I like the QEMU source code for most parts and there was a whole talk around it on LinuxCon where people agreed that it was really easy to hack away with to prototype new hardware: https://events.linuxfoundation.org/events/linuxcon-europe/waskiewicz As for all matters concerning taste, I don't think we would ever get to a common ground here :).
