What are the qualities that make for a good DM? How do you know you're in the presence of a good DM when you're playing with one?

A few things that come to mind...
- Always prepared. A good DM comes into each game with enough material to fill a whole session.
- Good at improvising. Because sometimes the players do unexpected things.
- Able to move seamlessly between prepared material and improvised material. Ideally, the players shouldn't even be able to tell the difference between the parts of a game that were rehearsed/prepared and the parts that were improvised.
- Good with description. Because the world comes to life through description.
