The purpose of the "Considered Harmful" headline was, and always has been, to draw attention. And it's frequently been successful, both in the original attempt and here as well.

My grief with this sort of "considered harmful" essay or blog post is that it is being applied to such concrete subjects as Swift code migration, not the almost philosophical objects as the original GOTO. "Considered harmful" essays should be timeless to do service to the concept.
