My favorite use of Duff's device is this optimization in TIS-100: https://reddit.com/r/tis100/comments/38hfvl/multiplier_optim...

My favourite comment regarding Duff's Device is from Tom Duff himself:

"Many people have said that the worst feature of C is that switches don't break automatically before each case label. This code forms some sort of argument in that debate, but I'm not sure whether it's for or against."
