At the core, all branch instructions are gotos, they are just called
branches.
The goto statement is admonished only when it is used to jump all around
the
code in "spaghetti" like manner.

10 A = 0
20 A = A + 1
30 PRINT A
40 IF A = 10 THEN GOTO 50 ELSE GOTO 20
50 PRINT "Finished"

is more "cleanly" handled saying 

for (i = 1; i <= 10; i++)
	printf ("%d\n", i);

but they are nonetheless the same when it comes to ml.

but what makes more sense:

if (a == 10)
	printDone();

void printDone(void)
{
	printf ("Done.\n");
}

OR

10 IF A = 10 THEN GOSUB 999
20
30
40
...
998 END
999 PRINT "DONE."
1000 RETURN
