Same for me.  Some years ago when I've programmed in Clojure most of the
time which has those comments in the form of #_(+ 1 2 3), I found it
increadibly useful and convenient during experimentation with the code,
i.e., the ability to inactivate some part of a deeply nested form and
temporarily replace it with some alternative, switch back and forth,
etc.
