Personally, I found the code relatively painful to follow through. I'm not even talking about how the parts communicated - the code was difficult for me to trace through in the small. Even when compared to Linux or the BSDs, let alone Plan 9.

K&R prototypes, overly decorative comments that just echo the name of the function, defining macros like 'PUBLIC' and FUNCTION_PROTOTYPE(name, args) which are effectively no-ops, and a host of other little annoyances that make the code - at least in my opinion - rather unidiomatic and painful to read C.
