Yeah, but C-style "for" loops are nice, right ? Still, they really are a syntactic sugar for a "while".
The problem is more with a language having fady bits and people using them when they don't make the code clearer, than with syntactic sugar.

Well... I know macros are supposed to be bad, but.. I've been programming in C for a long time, but only recently tried 'sugaring' my loops with
#define _(x,y) for (x=0;x<(y);x++)
So now instead of e.g.
for (i=0;i<WID;i++)
for (j=0;j<HEI;j++) {
_(i,WID) _(j,HEI) {
