Depends on what is meant by "commenting". If it's redundant and repeats what a human would reasonably understand by reading the code itself, then yes, it's bad. If a comment is there explaining why it's being done this way (e.g., some external factor that can't be deduced from nearby code), then no, commenting is not outdated.

Code is for machines. Comments are for humans. If one is redundant, drop the comments.
