With regard to C-style for loops - other than familiarity - why?

It always struck me as a fairly warty syntax.

Consider Python where you usually do:

    for item in iterator

If you want an integer sequence it's:

   for integer in range(1, 100)

and for those rare occurrences where you need an integer index as well:

    for index, item in enumerate(iterator) 

Swift seems to have a similar approach. Why would you ever want the C-style iterators?
