Oh I would just die if those popular kids on the C++ forums knew about my choice of programming language or the fact that it supports 'goto'. :D
I got a place I would like them to 'goto'. =P
It's just another preference debate. Don't avoid it because people who don't prefer it call it stupid. Who cares.
Tachyon, you should just go with strict mode and use goto. Program the way you're most comfortable with.
