Noone is forcing you to use goto. You can spend a lot of time on the language, but nontheless, there will always be people that wants to shoot themselves in the foot.
I do tend to think that active, positive criticism is a way of contributing, but that might be just me. As is bug reporting, documentation, and all the other things that don't involve knowing C or C++ (which I'm learning, as a way to "contribute" more -- thanks for the encouragement, btw!)
If the contributers of PHP (i.e. the people that made the language you making your money from) wants goto, then we should happliy accept it. Next time it might be a feature you desperatly want that gets added.
