The biggest mistake of C# is not having checked exceptions. Your carefully written program can crash because someone modified a dependency to throw a new exception. So the only way to make your program resilient against such changes is to catch the base Exception class, which everyone agrees is wrong (because of "swallowed" exceptions). In Java the compiler alerts you if someone modifies a dependency to throw a new exception, which is good.
