I meant "sucks" in ways other than bugs.  Code can be
beautiful and still have bugs, though more often I
agree that commercial code is frequently both buggy
and ugly.

We usually publicly embarrass perpetrators of especially
bad code and make snide remarks about "bottom 5%" or
"top 5%", depending on the cynicism vs sarcasm switch.
My last complaint was about:

     char g_md_buffered[9]={"", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", ""};
