I would say that lines of code is not a useful metric. From a developer standpoint, what I care about is how much "surface" a library adds, and in how many places. The React API is relatively small, easy to understand, and confined to a single place - rendering my views.

React is quite large in terms of lines-of-code. I would refer to it as a mili-framework instead of a micro one :)
