Coming from assembly language, I always found the anti-goto sentiment rather cute. A beautiful restriction, but ultimately arbitrary. Like writing poetry. Or those novels that do not ever use the letter "e". Why would an otherwise sane person write code with "rep" and without ever using "jmp"?
It's not at all like that. `goto` leads to hard to follow, bug-prone code.

They wouldn't. Nobody is suggesting that you should avoid `jmp` in assembly. I think maybe you missed the point? The whole "avoid goto" thing is talking about higher level languages than assembly that provide proper flow control primitives like `if`, `for`, `switch` and so on.
And if we're being silly, you only really need mov[1].
