When you GOTO you never come back.

With a DO you do.

With links to the original documentation, I think it may become more useful.

GOTO and DO

Not so good practice to use GOTO in a code, but could be quite useful, when you, for example, debugging through terminal, you can resume execution after BREAK.

DO increases stack, GOTO doesn't.

With DO you can pass parameters into method or procedure/function and get the result back, with GOTO you can't.

NOTE:
Expert programmers try to keep away from using GOTO because it can break greatly the code workflow consistency. This is a basic concept for using structured programming.
So, before you think about using it, try to render the same effect using subroutines and methods instead.
