Don't throw strings. Use the Error object.

  I don't see why it really matters most of the time, especially in one-off javascript scripts.

    Error objects have stack traces in modern engines, which is very helpful for debugging. Strings do not.

      That seems like poor design on the engines' part.

    Because someone will come along and copy and paste your broken code and put it into something else and now more people have to deal with it. Just take the steps to make it not suck from day 1 :)
