"convincing" is a broad term I think, especially for syntax proposals ;)
I think often one wish to use it just to avoid "if" blocks in
obvious situations - no need to setup flags and indent/unindent code blocks.
Apart from that, I personally would prefer it in such typical code:
if a :
a()
goto "end"
if b :
b()
goto "end"
if c :
c()
goto "end"
"end"
I know I can do it with "elif", but "elif" is just not my cup of tea.
For this case goto provides symmetrical and explicit look, which I value a lot.
