Is there a technical reason to use > (<) instead of != when incrementing by 1 in a 'for' loop?

Question

I almost never see a for loop like this:

for (int i = 0; 5 != i; ++i)
{}

Is there a technical reason to use >

Answer 1

Iterators are an important case when you most often use the != notation:

for(auto it = vector.begin(); it != vector.end(); ++it) {
 // do stuff
}

Granted: in practice I would write the same relying on a range-for:

for(auto & item : vector) {
 // do stuff
}

but the point remains: one normally compares iterators using == or !=.
