Not defending this case of its use, but there is a time and place for 'goto'. Not many of them and people do use them for terrible things but in the right circumstance it is the right solution.

Only really posting this because I want to do my part to clear the 'goto' stigma that seems common in the younger programmers. It still exists because it can still do good ( sometimes :) )

Could you provide some examples of where you think goto is the preferred solution?
