Even if you are the only one using the program. Can you explain why you prefer gosub over sub?
While working on my masters in 1975, they taught us structured programming. At the time, at work I was coding strictly in assembler, so could find no value to structured programming then. Like they say: "You can't teach an old dog new tricks."
But for most of the newer guys at programming since QuickBasic and QBasic in the 1980's, there is really no excuse.
