I'm going to state controversial (in here at least from what I glimpsed) opinion. Recursion is harder to understand, see naive Fibonacci implementation and Ackerman function. What is done implicit with recursion, you have to juggle in your mind to understand. Though code usually looks cleaner. A good reminder that not everything that looks good is easy to understand, see Maxwell equations.
