Folks, folks! Can we not downvote loops at least? All we want, I think, are useful tools. For goodness' sake, isn't it obvious that loops are a useful tool?

Not a compulsory tool, not a forbidden tool, not a foolish tool, not obviously the correct tool in all situations, possibly not something that needs to be mainstream in every work flow? Sure, all of those. But ... we're downvoting loops now?
