yep. Good code is self-documenting and syntax highligting and having longer sections folded up may help more than having to process some greyed out text. But comments are still useful for generating proper autocompletion and avoiding having to skim through you '"self documenting code". Also it helps greatly with TDD and maintaining good coding practices. For example if you need a numbered list to reliably sum up what some function does, it's often a good sign that it should be broken into a couple smaller ones.
