Too many people took the wrong lesson from Dijkstra: that typing out "goto" in your code was wrong! The point is that structured programming helps you maintain invariants in your code, and reason from the syntax alone without having to know the entire dynamic history of the code's execution. This lesson applies equally well to Angular's "watches" for example, or the heavily event-driven style seen in some Backbone applications, but these weren't spelled "goto" so people didn't notice.
