I do find forward gotos useful in C. For error handling and breaking out of nested scopes. But only when goto is simpler and easier to understand than the alternative.
Not saying there's no use for backward gotos, just don't remember ever needing them. Maybe they could be useful for some C code generation cases or perhaps for retrying some operation?
What really annoys me are C++ exceptions used for flow control. Surprise gotos. I loved exceptions long ago at first, but over time the feeling has shifted more and more towards hate. Exceptions make code bases so much harder to understand. Especially when combined with inheritance.
Strange, the last time I used it I was still doing Basic in the early 90's, or when I do some Assembly programming.
So yeah, we can do without it, as long as the languages are powerful enough.
