My $.02  is 

1) No semicolons unless multiple statements on a line.  Making me put a 
    semicolon at the end of each single-line rpg statement just so I would not
    have to code a continuation char for mult-line statements is the tail 
wagging
    the dog.  My ratio of singles to multis is at least 100/1 and would go 
down
    significantly if I could start the line further left (which I can with 
free format).
    Bad idea.

2) No gotos does not bother me.  I'll live without it.
