> I've written countless functions in this style and I don't enjoy it. I think it's better than the other styles of resource cleanup in C, but it's not ideal.

I've got almost a couple decades of C behind me, and I agree. The way we handle cleanup at present is not particularly difficult, but it feels irritating. I'd imagine most C programmers agree that the goto based cleanup handlers just happen to be the best we've got, and aren't necessarily ideal.
