Just my $.0002: one thing that impressed me with Ethereal when I first 
started working with it was how easily I could write dissectors that 
Just Worked.  The API may be a bit of a mess but as a newbie I found it 
very very easy to at least get at least the basic dissection done. 
(That's not to say that cleaning it up won't improve it, but rather that 
it's pretty good already. :-) )
