I read that great post on Visual Studio 2008 annoyances, but didn't see this one. It drives me crazy. Now, I realize that some people use block comments like this for function documentation and the like:
/*
 *
 *
 *
 */
But you know, this is VS2008 and now we can use ///.  The only time I ever feel the need to use C-style commenting is when I have some junk or test code that I temporarily want to remove.  It absolutely drives me nuts when I do the first /* and then when I add a line after the test code, it automatically puts a space after the * and I end up with this: * / .  So then I end up always having to backspace to complete the block comment.
I looked through all of the C# editor settings in the VS2008 IDE, and didn't find anything relevant.
Does this drive anyone else here crazy, or am I turning into a codemudgeon?
