>>the way it effects how people do control flow in general. This. Most people are used to thinking in terms of try/catch. Programs exiting on exceptions. This is just one of those things like Garbage Collection. Its one of those things a modern programming language should do. The example is a bit like using automatic transmission cars. As much you can sing praises of a manual transmission cars(manual control, mileage etc) its just everyday programming is like driving in roads with heavy traffic, and whatever perceived poetic beauty a manual task could offer, the automated task works better if you have to do this for hours everyday. In many ways a language without try/catch semantics these days is dead on arrival for most shops.
