Admittedly, needing to use an explicit index counter is not as nice (and more prone to errors) as using the other for syntax. But one could imagine a language with e.g. macros that made the backwards-looping syntax more intuitive (I assume a single-threaded situation and an ArrayList). >Having an officially guaranteed tail call mechanism

Of course, it is a long way to go until one is able to use these features. So, for now, you are better off to look somewhere else for your specific needs.
Though I'd like to think that I presented clear arguments even though I didn't present _empirical_ evidence for my arguments. I presented ideas and logical steps how to arrive at them. Which, to me, makes it more than "just an opinion". Sure, you may disagree with the ideas and or the steps–it's not a mathematical proof, it's much softer. Sidenote: Nonetheless, I provided two links to empirical research finding counterintuitive results from TDD and from unit tests.
Clarification: I am not engaging in a strawman. I didn't claim that _you_ said these are the only dimensions. I tried to express, generally, that software quality is one of several important dimensions. I could have phrased it in a clearer way.
