Perl or C don't get used by people who're in the first stages of learning to code; you usually build some experience of how not to do things when you move to them. PHP does get used by those people because it's a wonderfully simple language, and still it manages to include pretty advanced functionality if you want it, but you must know how to use it before you dive in. Goto is a deceptively simple construct that would quickly be used by those with less experience, with much unmanageable code as a result... hence the implications to PHP reputation.
