I have a friend who works for an extremely popular open source database company, and he says their code is some of the absolute worst he's ever seen. This particular friend of mine is no stranger to bad code-- he's been in a position to see some horrifically bad codebases. Adoption of this open source database isn't slowing in the least because their codebase happens to be poorly written and difficult to troubleshoot and maintain. Users couldn't care less whether the underlying code is pretty.
