It is worth taking a look at Donald Knuth (1974). "Structured Programming with Goto Statements". Computing Surveys 6 (4): 261301.
where he argues that goto is useful. He also quotes Dijkstra: "Please don't fall into the trap that I am terribly dogmatical about [the goto statement. I have the uncomfortable feeling that others are making a religion out of it, as if the conceptual problems of programming could be solved by a simple trick, by a simple form of coding discipline!"
