A loop basically lets you do things that would couldn't with a basic tag. I.e <%links%> is quite a flexible tag, in that you can use things like <%if Field%>show something<%endif%>, but with a loop, you can do much better stuff...like making multiple colums for the links (see resource section, there is a global I believe)...the loops just make thing slightly easier for people doing more advanced stuff.
