What about old projects that use the block and I just think it's more efficient.

Why did they even get rid of it anyways
We put it in there b/c we noticed people using “if” blocks with no forever, and getting confused about why they didn't seem to work (the if checks the condition once in the first instant, and then finishes execution). But after asking a lot of educators if this helped, we got mixed reviews, so we decided to take it out.

No Support.
They got rid of it because it was to ambiguous. Even I was a little confused by it. Does it mean while? Whenever <> becomes true? The first time <> becomes true, do this forever?

Sorry forever-if rest in peace.
Three things i dislike:
1. Lists
2. Signatures
4. Irony
5. When people say they only are going to say 3 things then say 4.
