Here's my unscientific LOC count results (that I did in 5 minutes).

I've removed node_modules and bower_components from the items in: https://github.com/tastejs/todomvc/examples

I've also deleted "polymer" and "emberjs_require" since they didn't have any files in them and messes up the `wc -l`

    $ for x in *; do echo $x; wc -l `find $x/ -name '*js*' -type f | egrep -v 'test|lib|public|vendor|.bundle.js|.cache.js'`; echo; done

Results: http://pastebin.com/GqF0g3qF

Obviously one can improve the filtering to get more accurate results but you get the point. To make a TODO mvc you need at least 5+ different files and totalling a lot of lines. The fact that jQuery solution (which is very nice code, not the typical spaghetti) beats the majority of them in line count is pretty ironic.

You included all the spec / unit test files, and in some instances you included the framework.

I've updated with `test|` in the filter now, but the point stands.

Sure, if your only metric is LOC. (Even then the majority is below 500 lines -- code style is an important factor)

Will jQuery suffice if you're creating Asana rather than todoMVC?
