Indeed, I've used McCabe stuff in the past not as a gate, but a way to say "this should be looked at before that" type of thing. Works pretty well.
A low score doesn't mean "good", nor a high one "bad", just an indication that something might do well with some more scrutiny.

- ozim 3y agoOK first time I see Cyclomatic complexity as a useful metric. Rate of change is more important than any specific measure. But I never seen anyone mentioning that - but after I saw that here in comment it seems so obvious now.
- pasc1878 3y agoNo it is not rate of change. It is change in itself. The value should not be increasing.
