personally, I think that the "C-style commenting" has two advantages over the
to-end-of-line construct.  the obvious is long comments being wrapped and
mistaken (by parser) for code; a real bitch when one's unfamiliar with the code.
 the second is more of a personal aesthetic/preference, so

code
more code

/* separated, or "broken up", by comments which stand out visually
 * when formatted like so, are "easy" on my eyes.  :-)
 */

code
yet mode code



but, as with all, "YMMV".
