If a GOTO can be used to make code easier to read and debug then I'm all for it. I'm an old programmer so seeing a GOTO in code won't spook me as much as it does some other people apparently. I've had experience debugging GOTO code.
Some academic teachers seem to be very afraid of GOTO, up to the point of considering it harmful no matter what use. They pass it onto students, which take it as an absolute truth, never even trying to understand the inherent problems and advantages of GOTO in the first place.
