Here are the main reasons why commented code is a code smell :
- It always raises more questions than it gives answers
- Everybody will forget very quickly how relevant the commented code is
- This is distraction when going down the code as it stops the flow of eyes
- It is a bad SCM engine : Subversion, CVS and Git are really more trustworthy !
- The simple fact of understanding why code was commented out in the first place can take a lot of time
The goal of this rule is to detect commented out code only on HTML code (but not on Javascript, Java and any other language).
