+1 for each (second). To me, the for reminds me of other languages where you have to tell it what type of item the collection you are iterating contains (I am thinking of C#), but in Ruby is not really an issue. I would be interested in other opinions but to me not using 'for' just seems 'right' and an easier read, maybe b/c this is what I seem to see most often.
