Most use of goto's implies a lack of understanding of the unseen
architecture of the problem domain itself (otherwise, you wouldn't
have structured your program with that architecture).  The only
remaining use is optimization, and most of that is probably premature,
as use of gotos *can* make things hard to understand, but using labels
is a pretty happy medium.
