This is the criterion from the user/programmer perspective. It is
well known that you can use almost everything in a bad manner...

You can kill someone even using a pen, but it's kinda easier to do
it with an M-16. :-)

Goto is a myth. C uses it, too. IMHO, it's quite useful. The goto becomes
a problem when it is used a lot without a sane reason.

As far as the pointers are concerned, pls don't mix "difficult to read
code" with "spaghetti code". Pointers can give *elegant* solutions to many
problems. That's the reason they are so popular.
