I prefer early return for domain errors like passing nullptr into a function that wants to operate on the object.

I prefer multiple returns over nested indents because after two or three levels of indentation, I can't remember what conditions held in the block I'm in.

I have the painful experience of using a language (Pascal) that only permitted a function to return at the bottom, and I almost always needed an auxiliary variable to record exit from nested loops.

You can't get rid of implicit control transfers in languages that have break in switch statements, continue and break in loops, and an explicit return statement. Better to learn to live with it.
