For an end user this needs to be translated. Fewer lines of code mean better long-term maintainability. It could also mean better stability and less bugs. However, that is not granted as you can introduce pretty severe bugs also with few lines of code. And of course the less lines of code, the less features a program has. But if you're happy with that, it is a good thing.
But yeah, that still leaves a lot of questions that can be answered much better if not using the lines of code argument.
