Well if you're comparing for loop to reduce or map in JavaScript then for will always win as it is a built in language construct and reduce involves costly callbacks. Interesting that the difference is only 7% on my Chrome for Android [0].

For loops have also an advantage that they can be used with yield and await (generators and async functions) while you cannot place these keywords inside a callback function.

Regarding your last point, this is also a nice benefit of for...of loops in JS, where you can use yield and await. It's sort of the best of both worlds.

Oh yes, exactly! I wonder why for of was not mentioned in the article...
