I agree that LOC is a very poor measure, but I think the intent 
was to offer some sort of comparison of syntactic complexity or 
code bloat (think Haskell vs. Java). Counting lines or non 
white-space characters is a low hanging fruit - anything more 
sophisticated seems to be quite difficult.

More importantly, LOC is also used in relative mode to show the 
fraction of code, which had to be modified for parallelism.
