Unlike C's for, which is just a gimmick where you bundle three
potentially unrelated expressions and hope for the best.
If all you can do is "hope for the best", you're doing it wrong. It's
your job to ensure that they are not arbitrary unrelated expressions,
but correctly related expressions, and that's no different from your
responsibility for all of the other expressions that make up your
program.

It's not a fact that someone who finds tools problematic shouldn't
be using them.
On the contrary, I would argue that if you don't find your tools
problematic, you might haven a cognitive defect that will also make you
blind to faults in computer programs other those tools, like ... your
own code. In other words, a rational case can be made that it is those
who are blind to problems in their tools shouldn't be programming,
rather those who find problems in them.
(It's also not a fact that someone who pointlessly complains about tools
to a group of people that can't anything about it should not be
coding in them. That is neither here nor there.)
