My problem with panics is that if it is a library (e.g. standard library), then I cannot handle the error the way I want. Let us say that you have a library that parses something. As the user of that library, you want to be able to handle these errors gracefully, you do not want the library to just panic at those parse errors. Sadly I have seen libraries do this.
