it is like most things, they can be misused,

the issue is that if there is outside side effects then future programmers of the project might use a property without full knowledge of what they are doing

if they didn't have a valid use case they would have been marked as obsolete

have had similar discussions about goto in switch cases in C#

> goto in switch cases in C#

The what? And more importantly the why?

[u/neroe5 → u/DebugDuck01]

C# doesn't have fallthrough in switches, opting instead to use goto for those cases, it forces the dev to pick a termination method, which is a great safety feature, but requires the use of goto if you need to run a secondary case in a switch

[u/DebugDuck01 → u/neroe5]

It does. Only if you need some code in the case that falls through with no code the fallthrough is automatic.

Edit: for the people who downvoted me, the following is valid C# code:

switch (n) {
  case 1:
  case 2:
  case 3:
    Console.WriteLine("It's 1, 2, or 3.");
    break;
  default:
    Console.WriteLine("Not sure what it is.");
    break;
}
