Ruby has two kinds of exception handling. There is try/catch, this is used for flow control and should not be used for error handling (it doesn't have stack traces). And then there is raise/rescue. Using try/catch as intended is a bit of an art, but raise/rescue is everywhere. It is absolutely the primary way of handling errors. I think you might be confusing these two.
