If you don't have access to the netcode there's really no room for anyone to speak regarding how "well programmed" an engine is.

id Tech 2 and 3, though, are actually not very well programmed in actual terms -- yet they're both often considered some of the "best" engines ever devised, id Tech 3 especially. And yet the power they require don't hold a candle to the majority of engines currently on the market.
