goto is typically fastest, and lowest level conditional(computed goto) construct.
Arguing against goto is as silly as arguing against inline assembly.
People can abuse both, its not reason to outlaw them, just a mindless(similar to `think of the children', but children here are programmers) reaction to problem from wrong angle(use-case vs design) by formula "lets outlaw X, because X can be used by Y to create Z",
