That's only useful if the first thing you do when starting a project
is coding. It might be irrelevant for large projects where you begin
with a design stage. I think it's wrong to estimate the cost of a
projects by counting the number of lines.

C is a language where you might have to implement a lot of things
yourself. In C++, things are a bit different. You need a list, just
use the STL or some other template library (Boost). If, after
profiling your code, you realise that this list is slow you can easily
change it (providing that you had some rules like using typedefs
etc.). You might not have this option in a HLL.
