At least for me, the draw for Underscore.js was that array functions like .filter and .forEach are not supported in all browsers. In that case, _().select and _().each are great for keeping the code clean.
I'm not sure I agree with porting syntax over just because one is familiar with it as opposed to learning the language properly.
