Look we can all agree if you’re writing ASM your going to use goto’s. Further if linked lists are tiny or rarely used, it’s not a problem. If you can ensure the data stays in L2 cache it’s far less of an issue. If any number of things they don’t create problems, but frankly the general case encountered by most programmers are not that.

PS: If you don’t feel like pointing to a concrete example, I am going to counter with 99% of the stuff you can find here: www.google.com.
