<!-- comments are not recommended for users: it is hidden! -->
Comments aren't recommended for new editors (and for 99% of the times for
advanced users too), as must comments should be written in talk page.
It is not just a non useful feature, it is a harmful feature, as people get
confused between reference and comments and it leads to "too many icons"
problem. Please remove comment button from toolbar completely, or at least
change it to opt-in/out feature. (Only the toolbar icon, as the option to show
and edit already written comments is important)
Side benefit: less code to maintain and less bugs ;)
