In the opposite direction, being away from matlab, I notice an upside to "vectorise everything" seems to have been "code shrinkage". Looks like ~3-5x times compared to "code with loops". I often find myself ill disposed towards my (and other's) code, it looks complex and verbose. I guess one can't easily un-see/forget how much simpler things can be.
