goto is merely a tool that got a bad rap simply because it has its roots in basic assembler, back before structured programming was a thing. I agree with you regarding its use, but I'm still surprised by just how many seemingly educated programmers jump onto the "never use goto" cargo cult because of a paper title that they misattribute to Djikstra.

Ironically, from the code I've seen, I don't think I've ever seen anyone actually misuse goto, probably because the people who use it actually know what they're doing. That's just anecdotal on my part, but still.
