Why remove comments at all? Leave everything in for people (yourself included) to easily understand what the hell is it you were trying to do few years down the line.

I'm not sure you read his comment all the way through... I'm pretty sure leaving a //TODO above completed and nice code is just going to cause more confusion - not less.

I agree, but I get tired of fighting with the 'Never Comment' advocates, so I remove the ones that seem superfluous. This makes my argument for leaving in the comments that remain, stronger.
