Not really, most IDEs are very smart now-adays. Unless you are using vi or something, its not a problem.

Actually C99 supports // comments. But the reason I like them is because they're the preferred C++ comments, and because if you exclusively use those in your code, commenting out larger portions while debugging is super-easy.
I know it was added, but its rarely used. And are you sure about that?

Code:
void func(void){
   blah blah
   blah
   /*
      some comment
   */
   blah blah blah
}
Try to comment out everything from blah to "blah blah blah" Most people use preprocessor to comment out large blocks of code.

Code:
void func(void){
   blah blah
#ifdef commentingout
   blah
   /*
      some comment
   */
   blah blah blah
#endif
}
And Doxygen REQUIRES /* */ comments.
