That was one case, out out of how many switch and if-then-else 
statements? The goto statment is very rarely needed, I don't think we 
are likely to run across one of those cases in something like POV.
And like Jon Cruz said, "Only for the advanced.". Since I don't consider 
myself advanced, I just avoid it like the plague. I have yet to run 
across a situation I need it...
