Same here...
A nice old fashioned GOTO to a line number is easier to track than a
subroutine/function call which you then need to track down somewhere in the
listings.
Not to mention that even in assembly, unless the program is run once all
linear, it'll be full of JMPs,JSRs and RTSs, the equivalant of BASIC GOTOs,
GOSUBs.
