Same here - although I've pretty much given up GOTOs for LEAVEs and
CABxx - unless I'm modifying a program that already has some GOTOs in
it.  Basically, I agree with the guys who say that the object is to
produce properly funcitioning, easy to understand code - not to produce
code that conforms to some standard (at the expense of clarity).
