I've found working in the programming industry for 2 years and writing code with students for 4, that when people complain about someone's code, there are 2 reasons.
1) The code really is bad, and it could have been improved upon to increase functionality and clarity
2) The complainer just really doesn't understand what the code is doing. This tends to be because they don't really even get what the code is <b>supposed</b> to be doing, but they are arrogant and assume they know exactly what is going on.
Guess which is much more common?
