That's a terrible argument my dude. Do me a solid, what do ya'lls variable names look like right now? Or just real quick, LOC on the smallest file you got.

What kind of useful metric could variable names and lines of code possibly provide?

Frameworks decrease LOC, which drastically improve readability. Any shorthand variables decrease readability. Frameworks are great at enforcing these rules.

If your average LOC is ever more than 200 lines or so, you've got a messy app.
