I don't think reduce is bad, it's just the way some use it to make it more complicated than it should be. Those same things can be done easily with a for loop and with the inclusion of the for ... of loop, it becomes quite easy to perform those operations.

I also agree with the point that reduce has its parameters reversed, the callback should always be last, but that's a personal opinion.
