First of all, I'll say that this (really neat sounding) project doesn't necessarily fall into the following category, the title just reminded me of a pet peeve of mine...
I'm always skeptical of the claims of "do this amazing thing in x lines of code" where x is some ridiculously small number. For example, the prototypical 10 minute Ruby on Rails blog, or the 1 line of code WebKit-based web browser.
The problem with these things is they make great whiz bang demos, but they really don't take any less code, it's just that you don't have to write that code because it's already written for you and hidden behind a layer of abstraction... which is great, as long as it can also be applied to real world problems, not just little toy demos.
