rockford	I haven't used GOTO or GOSUB for 20+ years. Both have pros and cond, but there should have been a ’’Neither’’ option too.

cyangames	I've used GOTO twice in the last year after a long....13 year gap. Just because the alternative would be re-structuring roughly 400 lines of code for an edge case scenario. I just don't have the time for that! Only since using NESASM have I began to re-appreciate GOTO (Well, JMP) and GOSUB (again, JSR) commands. Sure, they're not needed much in modern languages but can save a shit ton of time (inserts dinosaur jpeg from XKCD here) -=-=- Web / Game Dev, occasionally finishes off coding games also!

Jayenkai	I chose Goto. Gosub still kinda exists, albeit as Function calls and things like that. You'll still "Gosub a subroutine" just as much as you did back in the days when Kryten said that. But Goto doesn't really have a replacement, and as spaghetti-like as it made things when misused, there are occasionally some instances where I really miss being able to randomly jump about inside my code. Kryten "If you don't gosub a program loop, you'll never get a subroutine. " My Dwarf-memerry is faleing. -=-=- ''Load, Next List!''

HoboBen	Goto is still a thing in C! And it has its place in error handling! -=-=- blog \| work \| code \| more code

cyangames	Goto still exists in PHP also, yay GOTO!

Jayenkai	Nah, PHPs enough of a mess!!!! I could probably make use of it in C, but Iâ€™ve not needed it, thus far. ... .... but donâ€™t go giving me any ideas!! -=-=- ''Load, Next List!''

Pakz	I had not used it much after discovering the continue and exit commands. I can use it again in agk if I need to since they are in the command toolkit.
