I don't care how much you think your code is readable, plain text comments are readable by everyone no matter the proficiency in the programming language used. That alone can make a huge difference when you're just trying to understand how someone handled a situation.

There's nothing keeping the comments up to date with the code. Comments should be sparse and only on sections that aren't obvious why they're being done
