A poorly designed program (with or without GO TO statements) can needlessly monopolizes the CPU. Typically GO TO statements can be avoided by having a good design. A local GO TO here and there is not so bad. The non-local GO TO statements can make long-term maintenance of a program problematic and expensive.
