IIRC both Dijkstra and Knuth used this approach extensively, instead of "if (some_cond) break;" — partly because the latter was not yet invented, partly because of their reliance on explicitly stated and documented right in the code loop invariants.
That's fair. Let me modify my statement: If the person doing this was over 50 and had developed this habit in old languages where that was basically idiomatic, it wouldn't scandalize me - though I'd raise an eyebrow to see it in a modern language.
But if someone's 28 and doing that stuff in Python or JavaScript, they're a bit of a loon, imho.
