[ed: Actually, this get even more extreme for the terminal I actually use everyday, sakura[1]:

  apt-get source sakura
  (cloc sakura)
Gives a total of 2490 lines of code, of which 2380 are C, the rest is CMake, make and Bourne Shell... that is cheating of course, as sakura uses libvte: which clocks in at ~45K lines of C - and a total of ~103K loc all together. Still a far cry from millions of lines of code...

Sure. I wasn't arguing that millions of lines of code are necessary for a terminal. Thanks for the pointer to Sakura though! I quite like it and I might have to give it a try :)
