There's nothing wrong with manually breaking a loop.
There's nothing wrong with eating a banana with a knife and fork, either.

Most monkey-esque insult
Well these people probably don't wash their hands so knife fork is the most sanitary way.
An infinite loop used to be such a rank code smell back when I was a junior, specifically because I was a noob and made giant loops like 50 lines long and invariably didn't plan the exit condition right, and then my computer would lock up and I would have to hard power cycle.
But yeah, now it's it's a totally acceptable little pattern imho.
