I have also seen the other extreme. Where people are overly paranoid about the app throwing any exception and try to capture everything that could possibly go wrong until the heat death of the universe. Handling every error somehow, often without understanding what is supposed to happen in this case. So you end up with things being in weird states and secondary effects for what would have just thrown a fairly easy to troubleshoot exception otherwise.
