Default Yelling: Good or bad?

In obedience school, we never yell, so why is yelling the first thing so many people do when their dogs misbehave? Eddie tried leaving the yard the other day, and when "Come" didn't work, I screamed "COME, NOW!" It worked.

My question: Is it good or bad? If bad, what's the alternative when not coming is not an option?
