Using `next' is not always convenient, especially if you don't know where the program goes awry. To use `next', you need to mentally parse every line, find out whether it involves a function call (might not be easy, what with all the macros lying around), and decide whether this is a library function or your own function. That's a lot of thinking about secondary problems when your mind should concentrate on finding bugs.
