This plant gets sun, air, water and food, so why does it look so crummy? Does it need to be cut back, or?
Also anybody know its name?

Possibility pot bound along with poor drainage.

That seems likely to me. I can imagine poking my finger in the soil and finding a marsh.
Plants are also not uniform in how MUCH sun, air, water, and food they require to remain healthy.

fine. Nothing seems out of order, so why is it so, so...weedy?
BTW: Does anybody know the name of the plant?

Looks like a Nematanthus to me.

No can do.
It looks woody. A bush or tree?
Perhaps with better pictures? Closeups on the leaf arrangement. A closeup of a leaf. Does it ever flower?

Or, possibly Columnea. But whatever it is, if you're fertilizing it, you should stop now. This is much what my Nematanthus looked like after planting it in a mix with too much tri-phos.
