Because of lack of people or the layout?
It's the art design and layout of the city that I can't stand. It's my second-least favorite city in all the Elder Scrolls games (Mournhold is my all-time least favorite). I can't stand the place. I hate high walls in real life and I hate them in video games as well.
I think there are enough NPCs in the IC to make the place feel plausibly populated. In fact, the few times I've tried to use mods that add NPCs to the IC I've had to uninstall them. Too many NPCs all simultaneously chattering away about the same three or four topics gets on my nerves real fast.
