Well, it seems I hitted a nerve with the "illegal" term, that was not my intention.
Let's say different people have different ways of seeing things and more important, different priorities with what remains a hobby after all.
I personally think it's good to have open-source alternatives and that their use should be encouraged above leaked SDK , no matter how much they are "inspired" by the official devkits or how mature they are at the moment, because they are part of the process of opening the console to everybody, not closed source SDK. But I agree that if you only want something up and running good, you might have different opinion. I had the luck that libogc was quite mature and actively developed by talented people, so I can't say how I would have done if Nintendo SDK was the only viable option.

Also remember the more people that contribute to them, the faster they improve: what prevent you from working on these SDK instead of simply doing emulator ports ? I am sure this could be much more interesting technically speaking.

As for libogc, what exactly is the issue ? It's very mature but poorly documented so any problems you have would most likely be related to misuse, I can bring some help to TheMaister if needed.
