I cannot speak to the quality of code; I couldn't code my way out of a wet paper bag and am horribly unqualified to comment. However, this is a majority of my job where I am now, and I don't dislike it. It's infinitely extensible, makes it simple to write plugins for stuff that you can't already find one for, and has a fairly large community. It's a *helluva* lot better than Mon or Big Brother, both of which I've used in the past, and both of which made me weep tears of blood.
