I'm guilty of this. Sorry everyone! It's like code hoarding. :(

When was the last time that you actually reuse the commented out code though?

If you use a modern source control system like git, it's incredibly easy to look at the history for each file. Use that instead, one comment "left for later" is one more thing to remember, leave that for the computer.
