Though not the only factor or even most important factor, the amount of code it takes to achieve a working product is an important consideration when comparing frameworks.
This is an imperfect line count comparison -- some of the samples contain a bit more functionality / are structured a bit differently than others -- and should be taken with a grain of salt. All generated files, blank lines and comment lines are removed for this comparison.
For authors of frameworks or samples (hey, I'm one of those!): Please do not take this comparison personally, nor should folks play "Code Golf" with the samples to make them smaller, unless doing so improves the application overall.
