What value? Saving some keystrokes when commenting large pieces of code?

Both Emacs and GPS have commands to comment the selection, so this is
really not an issue. OTOH, clearly seeing which lines are comments and
which ones are code is a plus. And yes, current editors use different
colors, but when you look at someone else's workstation with different
preferences, it may not be as obvious as one may think.
