    You can debug it and fork it to fix shit.

    @Lensflare Not the point.

    I just want to be able to read the code and understand it because the code is well written.

    I don't want to clean up a whole codebase just so I have a basic understanding of how they do things.

    I get your point. Just wanted to say that there is still value in open source even if it’s messy/unreadable/undocumented.

    I <3 Open Source and not like closed source is any better in that regard, just been bothering me ..
