What do you consider Harmful /prog/?

Except nothing. It doesn't matter what it's about--nobody reads it (as nobody should--but they should also refrain from reading the title.)

If you do actually read (and comprehend) the text, however, you'll find he qualifies the problem with its undisciplined use, and in particular he complains of implementations that reflect a convoluted program design, or more likely a convolution of program design (which is much worse.)

In other words, spotting a goto and complaining about it reflexively is not the kind of license his position afforded, and in fact commits the same kind of sin he complains of: ignorance.
