You have correctly identified the options but there is usually tool support
in IDEs and intelligent editors. Look for a "comment out" menu option
where you can use the mouse (or keyboard)to select a region and
have the editor comment it out.

Eclipse, Netbeans, vim and IDLE all have it (the ones I use most)
and I'm sure most of the others do too.


Also many editors include folding support where the editor will
hide lines inside , for example, class or function definitions, to make
code more readable.
