I've removed node_modules and bower_components from the items in: https://github.com/tastejs/todomvc/examples

I've also deleted "polymer" and "emberjs_require" since they didn't have any files in them and messes up the `wc -l`

    $ for x in *; do echo $x; wc -l `find $x/ -name '*js*' -type f | egrep -v 'test|lib|public|vendor|.bundle.js|.cache.js'`; echo; done

Obviously one can improve the filtering to get more accurate results but you get the point. To make a TODO mvc you need at least 5+ different files and totalling a lot of lines. The fact that jQuery solution (which is very nice code, not the typical spaghetti) beats the majority of them in line count is pretty ironic.
