Yup. Same thing that happened to goto, basically. People got so up in arms about the overuse of the concept (and they had a wonderful catchphrase thanks to Dijkstra) that it became vilified to the point where any time it showed up in code you'd likely incite a mini holy war that would usually end in its removal (if for no other reason than to shut everyone the fuck up). This despite the fact that (in C in particular) goto is sometimes absolutely the clearest, most practical way to deal with a function localized many-to-one flow control situation.
