As one who lived through the final throes "Go To Statement Considered Harmful" debate (I still feel like I need a shower on the rare occasions that I use goto), I find "An Empirical Study of goto in C Code" interesting.
(Credit to slashdot for the find.)
Edit: just stumbled on https://koblents.com/Ches/Links/Month-Mar-2013/20-Using-Goto-in-Linux-Kernel-Code/
I've been skimming some Linux kernel code, and I'm not sure they got it right, but I tend to agree in principle that gotos can make code more readable and maintainable, especially for languages that don't support exceptions.
