You should have brought up the issue that goto and maybe longjmp are not good before Exception handling (Try+catch+finally+..) became popular (using longjmp). If people can't handle a sparse usage of goto to make things easier then how can they handle all of the permutations of logic bypassed by the longjmp exception handling and then continue on like nothing happened? The real issue is people are looking for rules instead of concepts.
