Is it just me, or does wordpress suck form a coding standpoint?

I think wordpress simply got lucky. It was never praised for it's high quality code. Maybe there weren't many decent alternatives at the time. And I know it was easier to use than Joomla (or Mambo).

Not sure what you mean with the template system though. I'd say it's one of the few good things about it, quite easy to use.
