I wasn't complaining about `comment-dwim'.
I was saying that it's not the be-all and
end-all. I use it for end-of-line comments.
And I use something else for block commenting.
It doesn't matter to me if you use `M-;' for
everything. If you're happy that way, great.

I see. If someone says your one-size-fits-all
dream command doesn't fit all then their idea
for doing something additional or different
just wastes your time. Sorry to hear that.

I think I did. Maybe you can show us how
`comment-dwim' provides the same behavior.

A bit of a tautology. I can leap over buildings
in a single bound, in the cases where that's
really needed, which is when the buildings are
at most 1-foot tall.
Anyway. The point of this thread is the problem
with `comment-line' raised by the OP. If you're
curious why `comment-line' was added, since we
already had `comment-dwim', see the thread I
pointed to, where `comment-line' was discussed
and added.
