The citation was a feature that brought along numerous abuses such as rewriting comments instead of just informing of the one that is meant. @mentions will ensure a great solution to that by providing people with an option to refer to the comment they mean through a mention of the author and will stave off the unnecessary, repeated citation. But the quote feature does have merits. The fact I can delete bits of a message I don't need to refer to, or breaking the message down to respond to different parts is actually quite helpful. I was under the impression mentions were directed at users, not messages?
