I think we must distinguish between forward and backwards goto. And whether or not you are entering blocks. If you are not entering blocks, forward goto is usually fine, and for me, there is no good reason to think is is worse than break, continue and return. In fact, I would more readily ban mid-function return than this kind of goto. Backwards goto is when you get spaghetti code, there is some use for it, but it is very easy to make a mess. Entering blocks is particularly bad because it breaks both flow and initialization, I think if there is one kind of goto that should be considered harmful, that's the one, these can even break compilers. But as always, if there is a good reason to do it, why not, but you need a lot of convincing.
