Warning: irrelevant grammar nazism below. > Many fewer lines of code than This grammar bugs me. I feel like this should be "Much fewer" or similar, but I'm no

  Many is correct. Many refers to countable items, much refers to uncountable items. Many apples vs much wine, many lines of code vs much text. I do agree with your assessment of the awkwardness of the phrase though.

  "Many fewer" should be technically okay. "Much fewer" is definitely wrong. "Far fewer" would be my choice. Normally, grammar nazis at least know something about, which you clearly do not. Why does someone of such low caliber try to correct others?

    "...someone of such low caliber..."? Was that really necessary?
