Agreed, I thought the layout of Firefly worked really well the first time I read it but not so much afterwards as a reference document. In some ways it's almost the opposite of Fate Core which is great for reference but so dry that I found it impossible to just sit and read when trying to learn it.
I'm really looking forward to Cortex Prime landing, got an idea for a fantasy hack of Leverage that I want to try but haven't had the time to dig into the draft document to put it all together.

Wouldn’t a fantasy hack of leverage be Blades in the Dark?

Oh it is good to know that Cortex Prime’s layout is a little saner. I will probably try giving that a shot at some point, though Hour Eleven’s comments make me worried. I defenitely didn’t have the patience for FFG.

All of Margaret Weis Productions books are poorly structured for learning the systems. I don't agree at all. Firefly was made amazingly for learning, but poorly as a reference. I had similar feelings about other Cortex+ titles. I have no idea if Prime is doing it better (it probably is), but Cortex+ did a fair bit better than many other systems in the hobby.

Blades in the Dark may do what I want, haven't actually picked it up yet so don't know if that has the feel I'm after. From what I know of it I got the impression it has more of a focus on the gang aspect than I'm after.
Think I more want the Leverage style of criminals with morals taking out criminals without morals.

I get what your concern is, but I would... argue (?) that is not so much of a focus, as a subsystem. And, it could be... reskinned to fit a Leverage style team. The gang system could very nicely fit with the base/resources of the team.
