I can't stand macro comments - it makes it impossible to figure out whats going on without being sure to open the file in a specific editor with a specific project loaded. Say you have a separate lib project used by an application - if you open up an individual file from that lib while working on the application in Visual Studio it won't have the necessary context to 'comment out' macro comments. Its also hostile to people who use vi and emacs.

Sorry if I'm unenlightened... but what are macro comments?
- enqk 13y ago
  printf("Legit code\n"); #if 0 /* bunch of code to comment out */ printf("Commented code\n"); #endif

    Those do with fine in vim though (even using #if 1 and #else will highlight the #else as a comment)
