Instead of handwaving and trashing about saying its ugly/no its not, then why not take the code, re-write it, and re-submit it? IPFW at one time was considered ugly and such. IP-FILTER was considered the way to go. Now, for FreeBSD, IPFW works JUST fine. So, if you don't like what ALTQ looks like, re-write it. Submit your changes to the maintainer. Who knows...in 2 years YOUR version of ALTQ will be standard. But standing about saying it ugly isn't going to accomplish much, now is it?
