[Matthias Felleisen]
No recursion is not gratuitous with quicksort and fractals. It's necessary there. Eliminating it means you manage your own stack, and I bet you're not as good at that as Guido.
Guido is quite fond of recursion -- the Python implementation is full of it (a statement you may agree with under an unintended reading <wink>).
