Any > ideas? I agree that it's more difficult to format comments (you could I guess say "M-x text-mode" to go to text mode, "M-x ada-mode" to go back to the Ada way? not tried ..) However, having been using ada-mode and cc-mode (well, most programming modes) for quite a while now (not sure how long, 6 years?) I find the way they behave so very helpful that I'm prepared to put up with the minor inconvenience of comment formatting of the sort you describe.
