Some people say you should NEVER use them, but their are times when it is acceptable to use them for the sake of performance. Unless you are developing an operating system kernel, a compiler, or advanced robotics/AI software, then I would recommend you pretend as if they never existed. And when I say "for the sake of performance" I don't mean using them instead of loops; I mean using them along side in a very, very scarce manner. There are probebly less than 100 programmers on the face of the planet whom I would trust with using goto statements. Also, while on the topic, for the sake of arguement, you could, in theory, use goto statements in such a way that they would mimic regular loops. Although that would be about as pointless as running a lawn mower through a parking lot.
