One thing I would say counter to this, where comments are extremely important, is the API documentation. PHP and Actionscript, the two languages I use most often, use an "official documentation followed by comments" model, and I find that very useful. Oftentimes the comments have more useful real-world examples and better explanations than the docs themselves, so I would like to see that model continued on our site as well.
