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. -- J-P.
