It depends on the application. On Android, for example, I don't want my app to crash with an OOM while trying to load an image. I want to instead clear my in-memory cache and try again with more memory available. So I wrapped the code that loads images into a try-catch that catches OutOfMemoryError and it worked wonderfully.
