like "goto considered harmful" when all assembly language depends on it
In context though, it was trying to move standards forward.
Look at how acceptable C has changed over the years.
In ye old days it was acceptable to just read in any old text without checking bounds, now that is considered harmful.
There are still use cases for hairier parts of C, but that doesn't mean they should be used all the time. Same with goto.
