I didn't choose not to use `cl-find'.  Did you?
For that reason alone ("just because")?

FWIW, I tend to use just the catch-throw idiom,
partly because some of my code supports also
Emacs versions that predate `cl-lib.el'.

But I don't think I have any code that searches
long enough lists that such performance
considerations would be worthwhile.
