I use loop for simple things, but iterate is more general. For example, you can put your collect forms inside other forms, not just at the loop "toplevel". Also, editing larger chunks in an iterate form is easier, and automatic indenting works better.



ITERATE is one of those tastefully designed macros, very intuitive to a LOOPer.
