IMHO it is not recommended because it breaks the "natural" flow of code making it hard to understand, debug, etc...
I have never made a deep thinking about the use of GOTO, but I think its use is accepted in C since it doesn´t have a mechanism to do error handling like exceptions in c++ or java. I think in many situations, specially in embedded systems, where execution time is critical you simply cannot made a "decent" error treatment (in good programming patrices sense). Sometimes, assuming the risks arround break of natural code flow can give some benefits in terms of performace. But this a great risk brave warrior.
