I think this along with the other answers discussing the difficulty remembering the specific arguments of `reduce` (especially when varying by language!) are key reasons. After reading this conversational thread, I think maybe Microsoft got it right with LINQ: - `Where` is perhaps more intuitive than `filter` - `Select` seems no worse than `map` by invoking SQL-like syntax - While `reduce` is preserved as `Aggregate`, provide `GroupBy` and other handy methods as the preferred methods. In the code I write, it's probably these other methods that get called 95+% of the time. Who wants to `Aggregate` when they can simply `Sum` for example?
