This probably is not going to help you but I have the same problem.
What I do, *when* the project is one in which I am the main lead, is to
keep using org mode, without switching modes, but when I need to share
something with my collaborator, I *tangle* all the code and send him
both the code and the org document. This means that he can run the
code. However, the code has no comments in it...
Of course, incorporating any changes my collaborator makes back into the
org document is annoying but manageable.
