 I don't think there's one right answer here. Using semicolons for comments 
is clearer since those are free-form comments which ignore structure, but 
both #_ and (comment ...) take structure into account, and thus need to be 
at least syntactically valid forms. For instance, (comment ...) is usually 
used for example code in which case you want it to be highlighted like 
normal code. If there were a way to indicate commentedness without 
sacrificing this it might make sense, but I'm not sure what that would look 
like.
