Avoiding the “boilerplate” of error handling means that you have implicitly coupled code now. Exceptions make local reasoning not possible. I guess you may want that in a small minority of cases, but I don’t understand the benefit they give you overall. It’s just a shortcut and a hack, and I’d rather see explicit control flow 100% of the time.
