Its just denigrated because its not good for program that needs to be maintained by others in a production environment. By GOTO is fun and can you let you do things that structured programmers can only fantasize about. GOTOs are much more flexible that structured program.

In C, an appropriate use of goto would be to exit multiple nested loops. Using it as a looping construct is bad form where there are more structured alternatives available.

So far nobody has come up with an implementation that is either as easy to read or that gives the compiler the right cues to optimise the code.

It's how I learned to program, so I'm just spreading the love. Also, true bloggers never pass up an opportunity to add grist to the blogging mill! It’s a fun site.
