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

One reason not to use this construct is floating point numbers. != is a very dangerous comparison to use with floats as it'll rarely evaluate to true even if the numbers look the same. < or > removes this risk.
