Good luck with that if you're a C programmer.

These are not the same thing. The GOTO people complained about and what the famous article "GOTO considered harmful" is about, is called longjmp in C. Nearly all C programmers will agree with you that you shouldn't use longjmp. The goto of C has less freedom for control flow than try-catch constructs in other languages.

Well sure, but don't use it to implement if/while/for.
