Many times!

Most languages are full of "gotos", they are just hidden behind other expressions like break or throw (yes exceptions are gotos, think about it)

The fact that most useful cases of flow control can be solved without goto doesn't mean all useful cases are covered.

It's like not giving heroine to a terminal cancer patient, because he could get addicted.

Don't let religion rule over logic.

Even if prophets like Wirth and Dijkstra preached against it.

Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
