Finally someone who gets it. The echo chambers that exists among programmers today is painful. And it is especially bad on SO when you ask a question and someone just comments one of the following without going into depth as to the why:
"Don't use goto it is bad"
"Don't use reflection it is slow"
"Don't do that it is an anti-pattern"
"Don't use X it is considered bad practice"
I understand there are rules of thumb when programming, but they are not set in stone. There is a reason the language designers haven't removed or deprecated features.
