You need to add some shades of grey to your palette. break, continue and goto are bad, and it's better to limit their usage. But unless you are using very strict coding guidelines, you can use them where not using them produces worse code. Computed gotos are worse than normal gotos, but they too are sometimes useful (there is right now a person that asks for them in D.learn).
