Cyclomatic Complexity probably best metric I've used - can add comments, but nothing hurts more than a 4000 line file.
Cyclomatic complexity is definitely an interesting metric used to evaluate source code. I may write an article in this series that covers code smells, cyclomatic complexity, large dependency graphs, etc. Have you ever seen or head of using line age as a metric? How often each individual line gets changed in source code. It'd be interesting to see the oldest lines of source code in a project over time. Might be pointless as well :D
