Is Switch (Case) always wrong?

Question

Are there instances where switch(case) is is a good design choice (except for simplicity) over strategy or similar patterns...

Answer 1

First of all, Simplicity often is a good design choice.

I never understood this bias against switch/case. Yes, it can be abused, but that, so can just about every other programming construct.

Switching on a type is usually wrong and probably should be replaced by polymorphism. Switching on other things is usually OK.
