Truth be told i am a fun of bitcoin and other crypto technology but utterly disappointed by the quality of code.
There was not even single line of documentation all of the few files I peeked through. In several of the technology companies I worked, code without proper comments along header was considered to be a garbage and not worth a single cent. There are lot of philosophy behind making a good coding practice which I can not start over here, it is even taught in CS101.

I also read the source code. IMVHO (based on 40 years of computer experience) code is pretty reasonably commented.

I looked particularly in src/primitives, src/rpc, src/wallet and some other subdirs.
In .h files that contain data descriptions, some structures have description of each field.
After reading those files, .cpp files can be easily read and understood.

well, i did not find it reasonable. i have less than 15 yrs exp, but imho, experience does not really count much after 5-6 yrs. In fact, if particular engineer is opinionated about commenting and documentation is NOT necessary it seems it is even harder to have 'em change their habit because he/she becomes more inflexible as person gets aged.

OK This is the war of personal opinions. I can understand this code with this amount of comments and you cannot.
The quality of software is determined.
1. Correctness; 2. Security; 3. Performance, not by density of comments.
And again IMHO, I consider that https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Bitcoind is good enough documentation.

I dived into the bitcoin code some years ago, and also did quite extensive work on Dash's code (fork from btc). It is true that bitcoin's source code is not the ultimate example of amazingly structured and documented codebases. However, I remember that I was almost impressed by how better than expected it was.

If you take into consideration the age of the code, the language that definitely doesn't help (serialization for example is responsible for a lot of the mess), the number of platforms supported, and the fact that we are talking about a by definition very rigid project due to security implications and consensus, the code base is surely not that bad. There even parts dated back to Satoshi that are plain impressive in design. It's a huge project and can feel overwhelming, but I was able to understand the structure and navigate the code with little effort. That is not common in projects of this scale.

I think it is actually becoming more and more preferred that one writes code in a way that does not require comments. You often will hear things like "good code explains itself." I'm not too big a fan of this, but that is the direction the industry seems to be going in.

That being said, bitcoin does still fail here at times--especially when you encounter single lines where boost functions are passed to other boost functions to other boost functions in a way that quickly taxes your senses of what is really happening. The jazzy naming conventions also are unappealing to me. (Ex: CConnman. Just call it ConnectionManager ffs.) For the longest time everyone seemed to be perfectly okay with AppInit2 as a function name. Now we have AppInitMain, which isn't at all intuitively different from the name AppInit. Overall, the code base does seem to be improving. Two steps forward, one step back.

I can not say for sure, personally I'd rather bitcoin succeed as dominant but the way it is now with super high fees, and other problems, not sure. And it is not jus I am saying many people is concerned about it. I can not say which one will prevail over Bitcoin and/or which technology will prevail, there is no single person that can analyze 1000+ coin's whitepaper make a judgement, so only time will tell. I myself usually interested in gpu mining and managed to go over few dozen coins only, but the way I see now there are several altcoins that are looking better than bitcoin.

Lies, lies and lies.

super high fees

1-5/sat per byte gets your transaction confirmed within an hour currently. https://jochen-hoenicke.de/queue/#1,24h Which means you can transfer 1000$+ for less then a dollar.

This one just got confirmed, with only 0.22$ in fees. https://blockchain.info/tx/d09284762b642d8ceda7d5e12304316d6299362139220b1ed7d81ab023f0424b ( And this transaction wasn't even P2SH-P2WPKH)

The genius of satoshi was in the cryptographic field, and most importantly, having the vision to put all the (already existing) pieces to form a new thing. PoW was already there, distributed networks with nodes were already there, he just made a pack and it worked. The code was rough, apparently it lacked a lot of fine tuning, but that's not important when the concept is genius and it actually works in practice.

This is why someone that is a better coder could come up with another cryptocurrency, but if it's not a game changer at the scale of what Bitcoin was in 2009 (and still is) then it's not going to get anywhere, the network effect is too strong in Bitcoin.

Whoever wants to challenge Bitcoin must come up with with a completely new way to solve the Byzantine General's problem and do it in a much more efficient way, which I doubt it's going to happen for at least 100 years which is what these big problems usually take for someone to come up with new solutions.

bitcoin is falling out of favor with outrageous fees and being congested during peak hours. And appears to have become political. There are lot of other coins catching up to fill that avoid. But I agree, it is still the dominant coin but I am almost sure if not something significant being done, another coin will catch up in the next few years. IMO.

My biggest gripe is mining, no longer mineable by small-time GPU-ers like me, and as far as mining concerned, it is not decentralized anymore.
What the core dev-s are doing against the ASIC mining is not certain. I am working on platform to be able to switch many hosts into any coin and bitcoin (and other asic compatible coins) is/are not even in the consideration for obvious reason.

Sure, Bitcoin has it's problems, but something that scammers typically claim is how their altcoin is going to solve Bitcoin's problems, only to find out that eventually their altcoins succumb when faced with the same problems and deal with these problems even worse, usually by centralizing the network (huge blocks) or by a system that is exploitable (PoS, DAG-Tangle stuff)

There isn't a single coin out there that is objectively superior to Bitcoin and solves it's problems, if this was the case, everyone would dump and sit on that other network, but guess what, that doesn't exist.

The "Core devs" don't have enough power to do something about mining. All they would create is yet another altcoin, because I doubt the rest of the community would follow, unless the idea was complete genius and long lasting.

I can not say for sure, personally I'd rather bitcoin succeed as dominant but the way it is now with super high fees, and other problems, not sure.

Asics have nothing to do whether or not the mining is centralized. Sure, it might make the process of mining harder, ( meaning that only big companies will do it, but anyone can buy an asic and operate/mine for themselves. No one is stopping you.

writing a code is easy, documenting what you do is hard, as well as debugging as hard, fixing bug is hard, root causing is hard. i could say most of the engineers i interacted with love writing (shitty)code but hates debugging, documenting and root causing problems so "brilliant" engineers mostly resist doing anything other than writing shitty code. I dont expect better on this forum either. so I expected some reasonable code when look through bitcoind but was disappointed.

There was not even single line of documentation all of the few files I peeked through.

What files are you peeking through that's there no documentation? Sure, I'll admit that there isn't as much documentation as there could be, but to say that there's no documentation at all is just completely false. The code has many comments explaining many of the consensus critical things that it does. But of course there are some places that are lacking and most of those are holdovers from the early days when standards were lower.

And, of course as an open source project, you can write and submit code comments yourself instead of complaining about it.
