I tend to agree with you. bad use of goto is .. bad.
good and sparse use of goto is fine, possibly good.
Just look at our beloved HAL code ( coded in C )
you will see lots of goto statements for error cleanup/messages.
makes the code easy to follow and clean.
besides if someone wants to write 'bad' gcode with gotos that
work, who are we to tell them how to program :)
