I also think that pretty code is a good indicator.
Things I hate to see:
random levels of indenting
random changes in capitalization of variable names
variable names like Budweiser or Fart2
use of cfif sets rather than cfelseif or cfswitch (which could allow multiple true
tests when not intended).
setting 6 variables to the same value and randomly using them.
no include files or custom tags but lots of reused code.
6 lines of comments to describe a simple variable set
no comments at all
But I am sure you have never done any of the above. (Although I have)
