And became widely misunderstood. If anybody would read the whole what he 
wrote, people would learn that he doesn't criticise the *use* of goto, 
but he wants the *replacement* of goto with something else (like 
exceptions).

As C doesn't have exceptions, goto is in many cases the simplest and 
easiest way of handling errors.

Essentially, you can write both good and bad code both with and without 
goto.
