Show complex use-cases

[stevemao]

  _.each([1, 2, 3], function(value, index) {
    console.log(value);
  });

is simple use-case only
what about

  _.each([1, 2, 3], function(value, index) {
    ...
    return false;
  });

I think keep it simple and clean is important. But complex use-cases are also fine I think.

The reason is Array.prototype.forEach does not support return false to end loop as _.each do.
Also _.each is faster as it's a stripped down version of Array.prototype.forEach. So the equivalent should be a for loop with break.

I really like the list. I'm putting together a similar blog series about how/where to use Lodash. My background is with some larger, computationally intensive applications, so my perspective may be a little different. Reading this makes me want to add some details about when the Lodash investment is worth it and when it is not. Here's my summary of some advantages of the Lodash looping constructs vs. the built-ins... http://www.bholben.com/blog/lodash-is-superior-to-array-prototype-loops/

Hi @bholben that's a really nice article for comparing the difference between the two! Many thanks to share it here.
