It's mature, well organized and designed but does require competent coders to find their way around. It's quite heavily OO which puts some off, but not much else can touch it for free if anything.
There are others, but they tend to have pretty severe weaknesses once you get your elbows dirty and dig in.

Torque isn't free. My favourite engine is Ogre3D. Technicaly its a render engine, but all the modules are there to build a game engine framework in a very short time (few weeks) from a selection of maintained addons.It's mature, well organized and designed but does require competent coders to find their way around.

Quake 1, 2 & 3. those are free under the GPL. There's been some VERY impressive stuff done with the Quake 1 & 3 engines. Stuff to easily rival anything coming out now in graphic quality.
