As resident king of overkill, one of my main projects is a basic file search program that currently has 37,211 lines of code, 8,134 more lines of comments, 2,487 procedures, 393 controls, 11 forms, 21 modules, 33 class modules, 6 user controls, and a resource file for good measure. It's Unicode aware, implements all the modern shell interfaces I'm always posting about, draws several controls from scratch with CreateWindowEx (massive performance increase once you hit 600+ listview items) and subclasses most the rest, a UI using all the modern bells and whistles, and even it's own support DLL written in C++ just to do a single little thing that was super hard in VB but very simple in C++.

THAT, my friends, is overkill. Although to be completely fair the core search class is only 1,099 lines- just my own unicode upgrade to leandro ascieto's cSearch.cls
