Ok, I'm game! Gotos are not inherently harmful.
They are a tool, and
as such, can be used for both good and evil. In fact, I've written code
using gotos that is downright elegant.
And if that didn't do it, how about this: I haven't decided yet
whether total OO is a Good Thing or not. Someone set me straight!
What's uglier: a single "goto", or a dozen nested "if" statements,
to trap
error conditions?
I managed to eliminate useage of gotos long ago in my code, and come up
with a fairly elegant error handling system using nested if's. But I'm
still waiting for a good, solid, error handling system (try/catch is not
it).
