Is there a different, more robust way to describe code size than lines or perhaps even characters/size?

Could we describe “ideas” or “logical units” in some way? Or maybe just count the number of keywords and operators?

I find that “lines” is so popular but almost always misrepresents simple code as being more complex, and complex code as being simpler.

Of course, lines, like in this post, can be a perfectly helpful answer to a question if the question isn’t “where’s all the complexity?”
