Especially if you are just jumping a few lines downwards as you mentioned. But my 40-year long experience with more than a dozen programming languages has always shown me this simple truth (for me!): if I come to a point where a GOTO is the best solution I can think of, then I'd better rewrite the code because something has gone stray. To begin with, probabily I don't know what I am doing. I have not thought enough about the problem at hand.
Yes, even C has a GOTO. But if I remember correctly the original C Manual, it briefly mentions it and then recommends against using it. Now, this is not a religious crucification of GOTO. This is the result of the 60+ collective experience with GOTOs. I have never met a good programmer that relies on GOTOs to jump out of spaghetti-like code. That's because good programmers to not have spaghetti code, to begin with. But, again, I agree that jumping a few lines down the lane might not obfuscate the code to the point of making it unreadable. But then again, "breaks" and "loops" might work better even when you have nested loops. My two cents.
