I'm sure in larger codebases it can get unwieldy with tons of TODOs from a lot of different people, but for personal projects I've always found them a good compromise.

For me it's saying "yeah I know it could be better but I'm not going to break my train of thought over this and context switch. It's not so critical as to break functionality, this would just be nicer."

I really do appreciate TODO hilighting in editors for the odd occasion where I get back to something on a whim and feel like doing a quick fix then. (It's probably not realistically that common though and most will sit there indefinitely)

I really appreciate the feature of Jetbrains IDEs whereby the codebase is indexed for TODO comments.

I often find myself with some time on a plane and cracking open my laptop to dig through to the TODOs that are shown is really cathartic.
