There's an excellent discussion on this topic in the sample chapter, Rediscovering Simplicity[0], from Sandi Metz's book, 99 Bottles of OOP[1]. I often use it as a source for discussion with devs.
I like this, though I think anyone who mentions SLoC as a metric is honor-bound to quote Dijkstra: My point today is that, if we wish to count lines of code, we should not regard them as “lines produced” but as “lines spent”: the current conventional wisdom is so foolish as to book that count on the wrong side of the ledger.
