I think asking for a program that counts LOC is fair.

Because there is no single correct solution, you should say why you want to get a LOC count. If it's to measure complexity, then say that (and prepare for a bunch of ackchyuallys telling you the obvious caveat that it's not a perfect heuristic).

Instead of asking for "best" I think you should ask for "good" - it's not really interesting who won some contrived competition, but knowing a good tool is.

It's also a bit weird that you're asking specifically for lines of code, and then give as example a program that counts tokens instead of lines. Of course if your goal is to just measure complexity, that's fine, but you didn't say complexity - you said lines.

You're getting downvoted because people on this site sometimes prefer to criticize a question than help improve it. But if you rewrote it a bit I think it would be fine, and the votes would probably be more positive.
