That's quite an ambitious statement. I use forEach, but I think I use
push, concat, every/some, map and reduce quite often as well and I
wouldn't be able to tell which I use more often (probably push).

It seems that iterators [1] could do what you need. In this proposal (so
very likely to be in ES.next), you can see this example:
-----
for ([key, val] of items(x)) {
alert("x." + key + " = " + val);
}
-----
There is even the possibility for you to define your own iterator on
your objects.

If some library authors think that an array is an object with a 'length'
property, I think that they should learn JavaScript and that is not a
reason to add a language feature.
