I totally agree, and I'll have to admit that I've contributed a many a lines 
of horrible, unmaintanable code.

I think many like me has had to to work their way into oC by first commiting 
patches, then suggesting changes and making them eventually.
The code in oC 1 was afairc pretty clean, but not build for all the stuff that 
ownCloud has and can do now. We still carry a lot of that legacy around, but 
we're only just starting to catch the breathe and calm down from a coding 
frenzy, so now the cleanup starts.
The App Framework is a great way to start for new contributors so they won't 
start building on the "old" static methods, and the core libs are also 
evolving to being more OOP based. Let's keep building on what we got - it's 
not like we're gonna end up in a WordPress mess ;)
