I clicked on that FAQ link, because I wasn't familiar with zig-style multilines, and my initial reaction was "ew, ugly" - but reading the justifications, I think it rather won me over with how it addresses the indentation issue alone.
super ugly but they work just like inline comments and so are super easy to use/nest/visually detect and such.
for example in css which does not have inline comments vscode fails to reliably comment a block of text.
for strings it is even worse as usually they use the same tokens for opening and closing which make everything more ambiguos
