Well, most of the Linux kernel is written in C and while there *is* a
jump (often JMP) in most asms, you should only do so if you really need
to. JSR (jump sub routine) is a better idea in many (most?) cases. You
can write really nice structured assembly just as you can with most
languages - depending on the assembly language, platform, etc. GOTO is
still generally a bad idea, and most of the people that use it can't tell
the difference between a good and a bad time to use it.
Friend of mine made a really nice asm development environment for his
home made OS. Too bad he didn't have any marketing skills.
