I came to the conclusion about comments about a year ago for a completely different reason ... though, ultimately, ended up saving me in the way he mentioned: In my IDE, comments are bolded, italicized and red with a dashed underline and a mark on the scrollbar (thanks Rider). It's extreme, but it works perfectly with my code and commenting style. Doc comments are not treated this way, only inline comments, of which you may find one or two in an entire project of mine. I did away with non-doc comments a long while ago, and originally set this style in order to have any I'd missed stand out and "be ugly" so that I'd move the comments into a "remarks" section of the doc comments. The side-effect, though, is that when I'd run into a comment that was a "here be dragons", it'd stand out so strongly that you couldn't miss the warning. So I left it that way for good.
