I agree with Dave's point.
I mainly use the preprocessor to easily add/remove large blocks of code
(using "$if nil"), which is particularly useful when prototyping /
experimenting / temporarily removing lines.
It would be a real pain to have to comment out each line individually.
If you could come up with an alternative way of doing this, I wouldn't
otherwise miss the preprocessing abilities...
