Counter-conterpoint: I've worked on two applications C++ which we had to "de-exception", as exception handling was taking >25% of the time when we profiled. You could argue we were using "too many exceptions", but to me it's the obvious way to unwind in C++.. except it's not fast enough, so we had to switch to a proto-Rust (this was before Rust) style system.
